Menzel: BBBInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the 1920s. The coin's value was equivalent to 10 pfennigs, a small denomination, but due to the inflation, it quickly lost its value and became practically worthless. Despite this, the coin remains a valuable collector's item today, serving as a reminder of Germany's economic history.
