Comment
Issuing authority: [Stadt, Pommern]Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs coin from Cammin, Prussia (now Kamień Pomorski, Poland) is interesting because it was issued during a time of hyperinflation in Germany, specifically in 1920. The coin was made of zinc, which was a cheaper alternative to traditional metals like copper or silver, and it weighed only 2.5 grams. Despite its low value and humble materials, the coin remains a sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
