Interesting fact
The 5 Pfennigs coin from Neustettin (Prussian province of Pomerania) made of Nickel plated zinc weighing 1.6 g is interesting because it was issued during a time when the use of nickel-plated zinc was a new and innovative approach in coin production. This coin, issued in the late 19th century, features a unique combination of materials that was not commonly used in coinage at that time. The use of nickel-plated zinc allowed for a more durable and resistant coin that could withstand the wear and tear of circulation, while also providing a more affordable alternative to traditional metals like silver and gold. This coin is a prime example of how coinage has evolved over time, incorporating new technologies and materials to meet the needs of a changing world.
