Comment
Issuing authority: [Stadt, Hessen]Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Pfennigs - Darmstadt 1917-1919 coin is that it 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 dropped significantly, and the government had to print more and more money to keep up with the increasing prices. As a result, many coins from this era, including the 10 Pfennigs - Darmstadt 1917-1919, were made of cheaper materials like zinc instead of more valuable metals like gold or silver. This is why the coin weighs only 1.9 grams, which is relatively light for a coin of its size.
