Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was made of zinc, which is a relatively soft and corrosion-prone metal. This makes it unusual compared to other coins, which are often made of more durable materials like copper, nickel, or silver. Despite this, the zinc used in the 20 Pfennigs coin was still able to maintain its shape and design for a long time, making it a unique and interesting piece of numismatic history.
