Comment
Issuing authority: [Stadt, Rheinprovinz]Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs - Dinslaken 1919 coin from the City of Dinslaken (Prussian province of Rhine) made of Zinc weighing 1.89 g is interesting because it was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the 1920s. The coin's value was worth 10 Pfennigs, which was a significant amount at the time, but due to the inflation, the value of the coin decreased rapidly, making it a rare and valuable collector's item today.
