Comment
Menzel: BBBInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design, showcasing the "Freden am Leine" (Peace on the Leine) bridge, which was a significant landmark in the municipality of Freden, Prussia. The coin's design was created by the glass factory Schildhorst, which was located in the same municipality. This coin is a rare example of a local currency that was issued by a private company, rather than a government, and it is a testament to the rich history and culture of the region.
