This coin is an actual Reichspfennig coin struck by the Third Reich in zinc metal, and circulated throughout Germany and the occupied lands during the second world war between 1940 and 1945. 100 Reichspfennigs equaled One Reichmark. There is inscribed on the obverse of the coin the German national symbol, the eagle, perched on a wreath that is encircling a swastika along with "Deutsches Reich" and the date of issue at the bottom. This coin and its wonderful folio of information would make an important addition to the collection of any world coins afficionado with an interest in WWII.
