Comment
Menzel: BBBInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Pfennigs - Cosel (Feldmühle) ND coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Prussia. The coin was issued in the late 19th century, a period of rapid industrialization and urbanization in the region. The City of Cosel, where the coin was minted, was an important center for the production of iron and other metals, and the coin's iron composition reflects the region's strong industrial heritage. Despite its small denomination, the coin is a valuable piece of history that provides a glimpse into the economic and political landscape of Prussia during this time.
