Interesting fact
The 25 Pfennigs coin from Kronach, Bavaria, issued in 1917, is interesting because it was made of zinc, a material that was commonly used for coinage during World War I due to its low cost and durability. This coin was also relatively lightweight, weighing only 2.2 grams, making it easy to handle and transport.
