Comment
Menzel: BBBInteresting fact
The 20 Pfennigs - Hirschfelde (Flachsspinnerei H.C. Müller) ND coin from German notgeld (Germany) made of Zinc weighing 2.5 g is interesting because it was produced during a time of economic crisis in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the 1920s. The coin was issued as an emergency currency, also known as "Notgeld," which translates to "emergency money" in English. The coin's design features a deer, which is a symbol of Hirschfelde, the town where the coin was issued. The coin's unique design and historical significance make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
