Comment
Issuing authority: [Stadt, Hessen]Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Pfennigs - Darmstadt 1917 coin is that it was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, known as the "Inflationary Period" (1914-1923), when the value of the German mark plummeted, and the prices of goods and services skyrocketed. As a result, the government was forced to produce smaller denomination coins, like the 10 Pfennigs, to keep up with the rapidly increasing prices. Despite being made of iron, which was a cheaper metal than the traditional silver or gold, the coin still had a relatively high face value, reflecting the severe inflation that Germany was experiencing at the time.
