Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs - Driesen (Brandenburg) ND coin was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the 1920s. The coin was part of a series of emergency currency issued by local authorities, known as "notgeld," which translates to "emergency money" in English. The coin's design features a stylized image of a tree on one side and the denomination and mint date on the other. Despite its small denomination, the coin is a unique piece of history that reflects the economic challenges faced by Germany during that time.
