Comment
Menzel: BBBInteresting fact
The 20 Pfennigs - Görchen (Zucker Fabrik) ND coin from German notgeld (Germany) made of Zinc weighing 3.0 g is a rare and valuable collector's item. It was minted during a time of economic crisis in Germany, known as the "Notgeld" period, when many cities and towns issued their own emergency currency due to a shortage of official currency. This coin, in particular, was issued by the city of Görchen (now known as Goerlitz) and features a unique design depicting a sugar factory, which was an important industry in the city at the time. Its rarity and historical significance make it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists and collectors of German notgeld coins.
