Comment
Previously listed as F#3.7Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs - Abensberg 1921 coin was minted during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, known as the "Inflationary Period" (1914-1923). During this time, the value of the German mark plummeted, and the cost of living skyrocketed. As a result, the government was forced to print more and more money to keep up with the increasing prices, leading to a severe devaluation of the currency. Despite this, the 10 Pfennigs - Abensberg 1921 coin remained a stable and reliable form of currency, and its value remained relatively consistent throughout this period.
