Comment
Menzel: BBBInteresting fact
The 5 Pfennigs - Abbach (Portlandzementwerke) ND coin is a rare example of a coin that was issued by a private company, rather than a government. The Portlandzementwerke company, which produced cement, issued this coin as a form of payment for their employees and customers. This coin is one of the few examples of a private company issuing currency in Germany during the early 20th century.
