Interesting fact
The 5 Pfennigs - Zipsendorf (Leonhardwerke A.G.) ND coin was minted during a time when the Prussian province of Saxony was experiencing significant economic growth and industrialization. The coin's mintage was a result of the increasing demand for small denomination coins to facilitate everyday transactions in the region. Despite being made of zinc, a relatively inexpensive metal, the coin's design and mintage process were still subject to strict quality control measures to ensure its authenticity and value.
