Interesting fact

The 10 Pfennigs - Burghaslach 1917 coin was minted during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, known as the "Inflationary Period" (1914-1924). During this time, the value of the German mark (the national currency) dropped significantly, leading to a period of hyperinflation. As a result, many German cities and municipalities, including Burghaslach, began minting their own coins to serve as emergency currency. The 10 Pfennigs - Burghaslach 1917 coin is a rare example of this type of emergency currency, making it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
