Comment
Menzel: BBBInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Wohltätigkeits- und Pflegeanstalt Reichenbach, a local charitable institution that provided care and support to the elderly and disabled. The coin's design features the institution's building and the letters "WPR" (Wohltätigkeits- und Pflegeanstalt Reichenbach) on the reverse side.
