Interesting fact

The 10 Pfennigs coin from Algrange (Imperial territory of Alsace-Lorraine) made of Zinc weighing 2.1 g is interesting because it was minted during the period of German rule over Alsace-Lorraine, which was a disputed territory between Germany and France in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The coin's design and mintage reflect the political and cultural influences of the time, making it a unique piece of history.
