Comment
Issuing authority: [Stadt, Bayern]Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs - Burghausen an der Salzach 1918 coin was minted during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, known as the "Inflationary Period" (1914-1923). During this time, the value of the German mark (the national currency) plummeted, and prices for everyday goods skyrocketed. As a result, many Germans turned to alternative forms of currency, such as local coins like the 10 Pfennigs - Burghausen an der Salzach 1918, which were issued by cities and towns across the country. These local coins were often made of inferior materials, like iron, and had limited circulation, but they remained a popular form of currency during this time of economic uncertainty.
