Comment
Issuing authority: [Kreis, Hessen]Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Pfennigs - Dieburg 1918 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 (the national currency) dropped significantly, leading to a period of hyperinflation. As a result, many everyday items, including coins, became scarce and valuable. The 10 Pfennigs - Dieburg 1918 coin, made of iron and weighing 2.4 grams, is a unique example of a coin issued during this time, and its value has increased significantly over time due to its rarity and historical significance.
