Interesting fact
The 50 Pfennigs coin from the Municipality of Lank am Rhein (Prussian province of Rhine) made of Zinc weighing 3.15g is interesting because it was issued during a time when the Prussian province of Rhine was undergoing significant economic and political changes. The coin was minted in the late 19th century, a period of rapid industrialization and urbanization in Germany, which led to an increased demand for currency. The use of zinc as the material for the coin was also a notable departure from the traditional use of precious metals like silver and gold, reflecting the growing importance of base metals in the economy.
