Interesting fact
The 2 Pfennigs - Zwiesel 1919 coin was minted during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, known as the "Inflationary Period" (1914-1924). During this time, the value of the German mark (the national currency) plummeted, and prices for everyday goods skyrocketed. As a result, many Germans turned to alternative forms of currency, such as local currencies like the Zwiesel 2 Pfennigs coin, to avoid the inflationary pressures of the national currency. This coin, made of zinc and weighing only 1.4 grams, was a small but important symbol of the resilience and resourcefulness of the German people during a time of economic hardship.
