Interesting fact
The 50 Pfennigs coin from Köslin (Prussian province of Pomerania) made of Zinc weighing 2.7 g is interesting because it was minted during a time when the Prussian Empire was transitioning from a silver-based currency to a copper-based currency, and this coin represents a rare example of a coin that was minted during this transitional period.
