Interesting fact

The 10 Pfennigs coin from Fürstenfelde was minted during a time when the Prussian province of Brandenburg was undergoing significant economic and political changes. The coin's mintage was a result of the currency reform of 1857, which aimed to standardize currency across the German states. The use of zinc in the coin's production was also a new development at the time, as it was a more affordable and durable material than the traditional silver or gold coins. This coin is a unique piece of history that reflects the economic and political shifts of the time.
