Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs coin from the Prussian province of Berlin, made of zinc, was part of a series of emergency currency coins issued during the economic crisis of the 1920s in Germany. These coins were known as "Notgeld" (meaning "emergency money" in German) and were issued by various cities and provinces across the country to address the shortage of small denomination coins. The coin was issued by the Westfälische Anilin- und Sprengstoff-Aktiengesellschaft (Westphalian Aniline and Explosives Corporation) in Berlin, and it features the company's initials, "WASAG," on the reverse side.
