Interesting fact
The 2 Pfennigs - Zipsendorf (Leonhardwerke A.G.) ND coin was minted during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the 1920s. The coin's low denomination and zinc composition were a result of the government's efforts to produce a large quantity of coins quickly and cheaply to meet the high demand for small change during this time. Despite its low value, the coin remains a fascinating piece of history and a testament to the resilience of the German people during a period of economic hardship.
