This special Mini Album contains four coins that circulated during the Second World War. Before 1939, German coins were minted in a copper-bronze alloy, but as with many nations involved in the War, precious metals needed to be rationed to make arms. Thus, the compositions of coins had to change. In Germany, they were changed to zinc. In the US, silver and steel were used to mint nickels and pennies. In France, aluminum was used, and in Nepal spent rifle-shell casings were used!
This set includes a Nazi Germany zinc Reichspfennig, US steel Penny, an aluminum Franc, and a Nepal 4 paisa. Comes with a story card and certificate of authenticity. This is an incredible set for coin and WWII collectors alike!
Highlights:
- Set of 4 WWII era coins
- Alternative metals
- Story card and certificate of authenticity
