Comment
Issuing authority: [Stadt, Brandenburg]Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Pfennigs - Cottbus 1921 coin is that it was made of iron, which was a unusual material for coins at that time, as most coins were made of gold, silver, or copper. The use of iron in the production of coins was a result of the economic difficulties faced by Germany in the aftermath of World War I, which led to a shortage of traditional coinage metals. The iron used in the production of these coins was sourced from the local ironworks in Cottbus, adding an additional layer of local significance to the coin.
