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 coin was issued in the late 19th century, a period of rapid industrialization and urbanization in Germany, and it features an image of a crowned eagle, which was a symbol of the German Empire at the time. Additionally, the coin was minted in the city of Neustadt, which was an important center of trade and commerce in the region of Upper Silesia, and it was made of zinc, a metal that was widely used in coinage during this period due to its durability and affordability.
