Comment
Menzel: BBBInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a brief period of time when the Imperial territory of Alsace-Lorraine was under German rule, specifically between 1871 and 1918. During this period, the municipality of Oberhofen an der Moder issued its own coins, including this 2 Pfennigs coin made of zinc. This coin is a rare and unique piece of history that reflects the complex and changing political landscape of Europe during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
