Interesting fact

The 10 Pfennigs 1920 coin from the Free City of Danzig was designed by the German artist and engraver, Reinhard Heydrich. Heydrich was a prominent artist during the early 20th century and is known for his work on various coins and banknotes. The coin features a depiction of the city's coat of arms on one side and the value on the other. The use of zinc in the coin's minting process was a common practice during this time period, as it was a more affordable and durable material than other metals. Despite its relatively low value, the coin remains a popular collector's item among numismatists today.
