Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 10 Pfennige coin from the Free City of Danzig is that it features a unique design that reflects the city's history and culture. The obverse side of the coin depicts a ship sailing through the Danzig Bay, symbolizing the city's maritime trade and economic importance. The reverse side features the city's coat of arms, which includes a crowned eagle and a shield with the city's motto, "Für Freiheit und Recht" (For Freedom and Justice). This design was created by the German artist, Hermann Hosaeus, and it was used on several other coins issued by the Free City of Danzig during the early 20th century.
