Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs coin from Camberg (Prussian province of Hesse-Nassau) made of Iron weighing 2.93 g is interesting because it was produced during a time when many countries were transitioning from using silver or gold coins to coins made of less valuable metals like iron or copper due to the economic pressures of World War I. This coin's composition of iron, which was a less expensive metal, reflects this shift in currency production during that time period.
