Comment
Issuing authority: [Stadt, Pfalz]Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Pfennigs - Frankenthal 1919 coin is that it was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, known as the "Inflationary Period" (1914-1924), when the value of the German mark plummeted, and the prices of goods and services skyrocketed. To combat this issue, the government introduced a new currency, the "Papiermark," which was backed by a gold standard, and featured coins like the 10 Pfennigs - Frankenthal 1919, made of iron and weighing 4.4 grams. This coin, despite its small denomination, played a crucial role in stabilizing the German economy during that time.
