Comment
Issuing authority: [Stadt-, Land- und Siegkreis, Rheinprovinz]Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs coin from Bonn-Siegkreis, issued in 1918, is interesting because it was made of iron, which was a unusual choice of material for coins at that time. Most coins were made of copper, silver, or gold, but the use of iron was likely a result of the wartime economy and the need for alternative materials. This coin is a unique example of how the economic and political circumstances of a particular time and place can influence the design and production of currency.
