Interesting fact

The 2 Pfennigs - Kelheim a. D. 1918 coin from the City of Kelheim an der Donau (Federal state of Bavaria) made of Zinc weighing 1.7 g is interesting because it was issued during a time of economic and political turmoil in Germany. The coin was minted in 1918, just after World War I, when the country was facing hyperinflation and economic instability. The coin's low denomination and made of zinc, which was a cheaper metal than other coins, reflects the economic challenges of the time. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a valuable collector's item today, providing a glimpse into Germany's history and economic struggles of the past.
