It's been a while since I posted a Nazi coin. This is another of the "ugly" zinc ones and surprisingly, it has very little corrosion. This was issued a few years into the war when Germany stopped making bronze, aluminum-bronze, copper-nickel, and silver coins in favor of the more cheap and readily available zinc and aluminum. It features the infamous swastika which was a symbol of peace and good luck before the Third Reich. Now it's a fierce fashion statement that says "I hate Jews!" and is commonly worn by hate groups around the world. It also features a fancy font which I can't remember the name of on the obverse and one of the 30 million German eagle designs on the reverse. It's worth about $0.20 in this condition.
