Comment
Menzel: BBBInteresting fact
The Acetonfabrik in Burghausen, which is featured on the reverse side of the coin, was a historic factory that produced acetone, a chemical compound used in various industries. The factory was built in the late 19th century and was one of the largest employers in the region. Today, the building has been converted into a museum and event space, and it remains an important part of Burghausen's industrial heritage.
