Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Pfennigs - Artern ND coin is that it was minted during a time of economic turmoil in Germany. The coin was issued in 1922, during the hyperinflation period that followed World War I, when the value of the German mark had dropped significantly. As a result, many Germans turned to alternative forms of currency, such as local emergency currencies like the 10 Pfennigs - Artern ND coin, which was issued by the City of Artern in the Prussian province of Saxony. Despite its small denomination, the coin played an important role in the local economy during this time.
