Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Token 10 Mark (Jewish Ghetto Coinage Al-Mg) 1943 from Poland is that it was used as a form of currency within the Jewish ghettos during World War II. The coin was made of aluminum-magnesium and weighed 1.75 grams, making it a lightweight and portable form of currency for those living in the ghettos. Despite its small size and value, the coin played an important role in the daily lives of those who used it, serving as a symbol of resilience and hope in the face of great adversity.
