Comment
Issuing authority: [Stadt, Rheinprovinz]Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs - Boppard 1919 coin from the City of Boppard (Prussian province of Rhine) made of Zinc weighing 2.1 g is interesting because it was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the 1920s. The coin's value was worth 10 pfennigs, a small denomination, but its issuance helped to alleviate the shortage of small change during that time. Despite its low value, the coin is now a sought-after collector's item due to its historical significance and rarity.
