Comment
Issuing authority: [Stadt, Lothringen]Interesting fact
The 5 Pfennigs coin from Forbach (Imperial territory of Alsace-Lorraine) made of Zinc weighing 1.6 g is interesting because it was minted during a brief period of history when Alsace-Lorraine was under German rule, specifically between 1871 and 1918. During this time, the city of Forbach was a key center for the production of coins for the German Empire. This coin is a rare example of a coin minted during that period and is highly sought after by collectors today.
