Comment
Issuing authority: [Stadt, Sachsen-Coburg]Interesting fact
The 5 Pfennigs - Gotha ND coin from the City of Gotha (Saxe-Coburg and Gotha) (Federal state of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha) made of Zinc weighing 1.7 g is interesting because it was minted during a time of great change in Germany. The coin was minted in the late 19th century, a period of rapid industrialization and political turmoil in Germany. The coin's design, featuring a crowned shield with the letters "S" and "G" (for Saxe-Coburg and Gotha) on either side, reflects the political and cultural influences of the time. Additionally, the use of zinc as the material for the coin was a departure from the traditional use of copper or silver, indicating a shift towards more modern and practical materials in coinage.
