Comment
Issuing authority: [Stadt, Pfalz]Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs - Frankenthal 1918 coin was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, known as the "Inflationary Period" (1914-1923). During this time, the value of the German mark (the national currency) plummeted, and prices for everyday goods skyrocketed. As a result, many Germans turned to alternative forms of currency, such as local emergency money (like the 10 Pfennigs - Frankenthal 1918 coin) or foreign currencies like the US dollar. This coin, made of iron and weighing only 4.1 grams, was a small but important part of the diverse array of currency used during this tumultuous period in German history.
