Comment
Menzel: BBBFa: Fahrradfabrik (Bicycle factory)
The Hercules factory in Nuremberg was founded in 1886 as a bicycle factory. Around the same time, other bicycle factories were established in Nuremberg, such as B. the Victoria works, so that around the turn of the century (1900), Nuremberg gradually developed into the center of German two-wheel industry at the time.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design, showcasing the city of Nuremberg's landmark, the Church of Our Lady, on one side, and the denomination and the German eagle on the other.
