Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Pfennigs - Gilgenburg 1918 coin is that it was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the 1920s. The coin's iron composition was a result of the wartime economy and the lack of available metals, and it was one of the few coins that were produced during this time that did not have a portrait of a king or emperor on it. Instead, it featured the image of a German eagle. This coin is a unique piece of history that reflects the economic and political climate of Germany during that time.
