Comment
Menzel: BBBInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of economic turmoil in Germany. The coin was issued in the midst of a severe economic depression in the 1930s, and its low denomination and zinc composition reflect the efforts of the German government to reduce the cost of coin production during this time. Despite these efforts, the coin remains a valuable collector's item today, with some mintage variations selling for high prices at auction.
