Comment
Menzel: EEEInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Mark coin from Quedlinburg is that it was made of porcelain, which is a unique material for coins. Porcelain was chosen for this coin because it was a symbol of the city's famous porcelain industry, which had been a significant part of Quedlinburg's economy since the 18th century. The use of porcelain for the coin's material not only added to its aesthetic appeal but also served as a nod to the city's rich cultural heritage.
