Interesting fact
The 20 Pfennigs coin from Kellinghusen (Prussian province of Schleswig-Holstein) made of Zinc weighing 2.7 g is interesting because it was produced during a time of economic turmoil in Germany. In 1917, the country was facing a severe shortage of coins due to the ongoing World War I, which led to the introduction of temporary emergency coins made of substitute materials like zinc, aluminum, and even cardboard. The Kellinghusen 20 Pfennigs coin is a rare example of one of these emergency coins, highlighting the resourcefulness and resilience of the people during a time of crisis.
