Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 20 Pfennigs - Bamberg (Raulino) ND coin is that it was issued as a "notgeld" coin, which means it was used as an emergency currency during a time of economic crisis in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the 1920s. Notgeld coins were issued by cities and towns across Germany, and they were often made of low-value materials like zinc, aluminum, or even cardboard. The 20 Pfennigs - Bamberg (Raulino) ND coin is a rare example of a notgeld coin made of zinc, and it is a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
