Comment
Issuing authority: [Stadt, Hessen-Nassau]Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs - Fulda 1919 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 currencies like the 10 Pfennigs - Fulda 1919 coin. This coin was issued by the City of Fulda as a temporary solution to the currency shortage and was used as a medium of exchange in the local economy. Despite its humble origins, the 10 Pfennigs - Fulda 1919 coin has become a sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
