Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs - Coblenz 1918 coin was issued 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 currencies like the 10 Pfennigs - Coblenz 1918 coin, which was issued by the City of Koblenz in the Prussian province of Rhine. This coin was made of iron, which was a more durable and practical material than the paper marks that were in circulation at the time. Despite its humble origins, the 10 Pfennigs - Coblenz 1918 coin has become a sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
