Comment
Menzel: BBBInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design, showcasing the Bayerische Hofseifenfabrik (Bavarian Court Soap Factory) in Schwabach, which was a significant industrial landmark in the city during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The factory was renowned for producing high-quality soap, and its image on the coin highlights the region's rich industrial heritage.
