Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Germany. The Prussian province of Saxony, where the coin was minted, was a major industrial and commercial region, and the coin's minting was likely a response to the growing need for currency to facilitate trade and commerce. Despite being made of a relatively inexpensive material like zinc, the coin still holds historical value and interest for collectors today.
