Comment
Menzel: BBBInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted by a private company, Josef Schrank Goldwaren and Uhrengeschäft, rather than a government mint. This is indicated by the "ND" mint mark, which stands for "Nicht Deutsches Münzzeichen" or "Not German Mint Mark." This coin was issued during a time when private companies were allowed to mint coins for circulation in Germany, and it is a unique example of a privately minted coin that was accepted as legal tender.
