Interesting fact

The 50 Pfennigs coin from Lützen (Prussian province of Saxony) made of Zinc weighing 3.6 g is interesting because it was produced during a time when zinc coins were not commonly used in Germany. In fact, this coin was one of the first zinc coins to be introduced in Germany, and it was only produced for a short period of time, making it a rare and unique piece in the history of German numismatics.
