Comment
Issuing authority: [Stadt, Rheinprovinz]Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs - Düren 1917 coin was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, known as the "Inflationary Period" (1914-1923), when the value of the German mark dropped significantly due to the country's involvement in World War I and the subsequent economic crisis. As a result, the 10 Pfennigs coin was one of the lowest denomination coins in circulation at the time, and its value was equivalent to about 1/10th of a US dollar today.
