Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs coin from Bad Reichenhall (Federal state of Bavaria) made of Zinc weighing 2.1 g has an interesting fact that it was minted during a time of economic and political turmoil in Germany. In 1917, Germany was in the midst of World War I, and the country was facing severe economic challenges, including inflation and a shortage of metals. As a result, the German government decided to produce coins made of zinc, which was a cheaper and more readily available material than traditional metals like silver or gold. This coin is a rare example of a coin made during this time period and serves as a reminder of the economic and political challenges faced by Germany during World War I.
