Comment
Menzel: BBBInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued by a private company, the Waren-Einkaufs-Verein (Goods-Purchasing Association) in Lauban, Silesia, which was a province of Prussia at the time. This coin was part of a local currency system that was used in the city, and it was made of zinc, which was a relatively inexpensive material at the time. Despite its low value, the coin is still a unique piece of history and a fascinating collector's item.
