Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Germany. The Prussian province of Silesia, where the coin was minted, was a major industrial region and the coin's zinc composition reflects the country's shift towards more affordable and practical materials for currency during this period. Additionally, the coin's design, featuring the image of a crowned eagle, was a common motif in Prussian coinage during this time and symbolized the power and authority of the Prussian state.
