Interesting fact

The 10 Pfennigs - Crailsheim 1920 coin from the City of Crailsheim (Federal state of Württemberg) is interesting because it was made of zinc, which was a unusual material for coins at that time. Most coins were made of metals like silver, gold, or copper, but the use of zinc in this coin reflects the economic and political conditions of Germany in the early 20th century. The country was experiencing hyperinflation and there was a shortage of precious metals, so the government had to use alternative materials for coinage. The use of zinc in this coin is a unique feature that sets it apart from other coins of its time.
