Comment
Issuing authority: [Kreis, Provinz Sachsen]Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs - Gardelegen ND coin was minted during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the 1920s. At that time, the value of the German mark plummeted, and the government was forced to print more and more money to keep up with the increasing prices. This led to the creation of many different types of coins, including the 10 Pfennigs - Gardelegen ND, which was made of iron and had a relatively low value compared to other coins. Despite its low value, the coin is still a fascinating piece of history and a reminder of the economic challenges faced by Germany during that time.
