Interesting fact

The 2 Pfennigs - Lüdinghausen (Maschinenfabrik Pilgrim) ND coin from the City of Lüdinghausen (Prussian province of Westphalia) made of Zinc weighing 1.5 g is interesting because it was produced during a time when zinc coins were not commonly used in circulation, and it's one of the few examples of a zinc coin from that time period.
