Comment
In the post-war years, mainly 1948 and 1950, 5 and 10 Reichspfennig (Deutsches Reich, KM #100 / #101) still remaining in Austria were struck over due to a lack of round material. Very rare are overstamped 1 Pfg (KM #97). Details of the original coin often remain visible.Interesting fact
The 10 Groschen coin from Austria made of Zinc was minted during a time of economic recovery and rebuilding in the country after World War II. The coin was introduced in 1947 and was used until 1949, when it was replaced by the Austrian schilling. Despite its relatively short circulation period, the 10 Groschen coin remains a popular collector's item among numismatists today.
