Comment
Menzel: BBBInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted in 1975, and it features an image of a sugar factory on its reverse side, which is unusual for a coin. The sugar factory depicted on the coin is the Offstein Sugar Factory, which was a significant economic contributor to the municipality of Offstein in Hesse, Germany. The inclusion of this image highlights the importance of industry and commerce in the region and serves as a unique representation of the local culture and history.
