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 Rhine, where Langerfeld is located, was a major industrial and commercial region, and the coin's nickel plating and zinc composition reflect the efforts to produce a durable and affordable currency for everyday use during a period of rapid economic growth.
