Comment
Menzel: BBBInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Germany. The 10 Pfennigs coin was introduced in 1873, shortly after the formation of the German Empire, and it remained in circulation until the early 1900s. During this time, Germany was undergoing rapid industrialization and urbanization, and the coin's design reflects this change, featuring a depiction of Frankfurt's main train station, a symbol of the city's growing importance as a transportation hub.
