Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Pfennigs - Bottrop 1919 coin is that it was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, known as the "Inflationary Period" (1914-1923), when the value of the German mark plummeted, and the prices of goods and services skyrocketed. As a result, the government was forced to issue new coins with lower denominations, such as the 10 Pfennigs, to keep up with the increasing prices and to provide a more practical means of exchange for everyday transactions.
