Comment
Issuing authority: [Stadt, Pfalz]Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs coin from Frankenthal (Palatinate) in Bavaria, Germany, issued in 1917, is interesting because it was made of zinc, a material that was commonly used for coins during World War I due to the shortage of other metals. This coin, weighing 1.8 grams, was also part of a series of coins issued during the war years, and its design features the Frankenthal city coat of arms on one side and the Bavarian state coat of arms on the other.
