Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was produced during a time of rapid inflation in Germany, known as the "Inflation of the 1920s." The value of the 10 Pfennigs coin decreased significantly during this period, and it was eventually replaced by a new currency, the Reichsmark, in 1924.
