Interesting fact
The 20 Pfennigs coin from Düsseldorf (Prussian province of Rhine) made of Zinc weighing 2.7 g was minted during a time of economic hardship and war effort in Germany during the early 20th century. The coin's design, featuring the image of a woman holding a shield and a sword, symbolized the strength and resilience of the German people during this challenging period. Despite being made of a relatively low-value material like zinc, the coin still holds significant historical and numismatic value today.
