Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs - Burgsteinfurt ND (1917) 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 emergency coins like the 10 Pfennigs - Burgsteinfurt ND (1917), which were issued by cities and towns across the country to address the shortage of small change. Despite their humble denomination, these coins have become highly sought after by collectors today due to their historical significance and rarity.
