Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Pfennigs - Frankenthal (Zuckerfabrik) 1918 coin is that it was minted during a time of economic and political turmoil in Germany. The coin was issued in 1918, during the final year of World War I, and its production was likely impacted by the war effort. Additionally, the coin's iron composition was likely a result of the wartime shortage of other metals, such as copper and silver, which were needed for the war effort. This coin is a tangible reminder of the economic and political challenges faced by Germany during this time period.
