Comment
Menzel: BBBInteresting fact
The 5 Pfennigs - Rositz (Braunkohlenwerke A.G.) ND coin was minted during a time when the Federal State of Saxe-Altenburg was experiencing significant economic growth, particularly in the mining industry. The coin's design, which features a stylized image of a miner and the Braunkohlenwerke A.G. (Brown Coal Mining Company) logo, reflects the importance of the mining industry in the region. The use of zinc in the coin's minting process was also a nod to the industry, as zinc was a key material used in the mining process.
