Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs coin from the Municipality of Blankenstein (Reuss) is notable for its unique composition, being made of iron. This is unusual for a circulation coin, as most coins are made of more durable materials like cupro-nickel or stainless steel, to withstand the wear and tear of daily use. The use of iron in this coin's production adds an interesting historical footnote, as iron was a valuable resource during the time of its minting, and its use in coinage was often reserved for special occasions or commemorative issues.
