Comment
Menzel: BBBInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of economic turmoil in Germany. The 10 Pfennigs coin was introduced in 1924 as part of a new currency reform aimed at stabilizing the German economy after the hyperinflation of the early 1920s. The coin's design, featuring the city of Augsburg's coat of arms, was meant to symbolize the city's rich history and cultural heritage. Despite the challenges of the time, the coin remained in circulation until the introduction of the Deutsche Mark in 1948.
