Comment
Issuing authority: [Stadt, Hessen]Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs coin from Darmstadt, issued in 1919, features a unique design that reflects the city's cultural heritage. The obverse side of the coin depicts a stylized image of the Darmstadt coat of arms, which includes a shield with three chevrons and a crown, symbolizing the city's history and status as a former grand duchy. The reverse side features a wreath of oak leaves surrounding the denomination and year of issue, which adds to the coin's aesthetic appeal. This coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, not only due to its age and limited mintage but also because of its historical significance. It serves as a reminder of the tumultuous period of hyperinflation in Germany during the early 20th century, when the value of the German mark plummeted, leading to the issuance of coins with unusually high denominations, such as this 10 Pfennigs coin.
