Comment
Menzel: BBBInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Pfennigs - Jessenitz in Mecklenburg (Deutsche Futterwerke) ND coin is that it was made of nickel-plated zinc, which was a common material used for coin production during the time period. The use of nickel-plated zinc allowed for the coins to have a silver-like appearance without the high cost of using actual silver. This coin, in particular, weighs 1.3 grams and is a standard circulation coin from German notgeld (Germany).
