German Occupation/WW2/Concentration Camp Coins

here is 1 more example of rare Russian coin 1942 15 kopeks
The Leningrad Mint was incorporated into Goznak in autumn, 1941. That decision was due to the critical war conditions since the city was almost enveloped and the Mint had to be urgently evacuated. Some of the workers and equipment that had been evacuated just before the Leningrad blockade were also taken to the Krasnokamsk Paper Mill, and the rest remained in Leningrad, was also transferred to Goznak balance. The Leningrad Mint did not work until 1943. Consequently the whole burden of coin production had to be born by the newly organized enterprise in Krasnokamsk. It should be noted that alongside with minting coins, the Krasnokasmk Mint also manufactured orders and medals from the very first days of its operation, that was a heavy burden in the times of war.

Sorry, but Croatia wasn't occupied by Germany. Croatia was an independent state and Hitler's ally.

Agreed, but I don't think there is that much of a difference. The Ustaša regime was basically a local fascist government, and similarly to Slovakia in those years, Croatia was a kind of satellite state. By the way, WW2 Croatia (the NDH) had a territory which is roughly the same as today's Croatia and Bosnia Herzegovina combined ...

Somewhat odd indeed. The pieces were identical to original Polish coin designs, but made from zinc while the 1923 coins were nickel. They were used in the General Government districts, not in the other German or Soviet (until Nazi Germany attacked the USSR) controlled areas. Also, the exchange rate was fixed: 2 zł = 1 RM, I think.
