Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 10 Pfennigs - Emmerich 1918 coin is that it 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 government was forced to produce smaller denomination coins, such as the 10 Pfennigs, to keep up with the high inflation rates and the need for small change in everyday transactions.
