Interesting fact
The 25 Pfennigs coin from Sankt-Avold (Imperial territory of Alsace-Lorraine) made of Zinc weighing 2.7 g is interesting because it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe. The coin was minted in 1917, during World War I, when the German Empire was struggling to maintain its territorial gains in Alsace-Lorraine, which had been annexed from France in 1871. The coin's mintage was likely a symbol of the city's resilience and determination to maintain its cultural and economic identity during a time of war and uncertainty.
