Lodz Ghetto, 10 fenig 1942 type I, magnesium, certificate

10 Phenig 1942 Type I. Rare. A coin of this design was issued on June 14, 1942. This was done on the arbitrary order of Chaim Rumkowski, the Superior of Jewish Elders. To his surprise, the coin's design did not receive approval from the occupation authorities. Hans Biebow, Rumkowski's superior, criticized not only the appearance, but also the diameter of the coin. Its issuance was halted after 10 days. The coin is accompanied by a certificate from ghetto coin expert Jack Sarosiek, confirming its originality.
