Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 25 Pfennigs - Lommatzsch ND coin from Federal state of Saxony is that it was made of zinc, which is a relatively soft and corrosion-prone metal. Despite this, the coin was still widely used in circulation and remained a popular denomination during the time of its issuance. This speaks to the resourcefulness and adaptability of the people of Saxony during a period of economic hardship, as they were able to create a functional currency despite the challenges posed by the limited availability of more durable materials.
