Comment
Issuing authority: [Stadt, Württemberg]Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs coin from Ehingen an der Donau (Federal state of Württemberg) made of Zinc weighing 1.9 g is interesting because it was produced during a time of economic and political turmoil in Germany. In 1918, Germany was facing hyperinflation, and the value of the German mark had decreased significantly. As a result, many cities and towns, including Ehingen an der Donau, began issuing their own local currencies, like this 10 Pfennigs coin, to address the shortage of small change and to stabilize the local economy. This coin is a rare example of a local currency issued during that time, and it serves as a reminder of the economic challenges faced by Germany in the aftermath of World War I.
