Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs - Gispersleben (Kantine Pfeffer) ND coin from German notgeld (Germany) made of Iron weighing 7.5 g is a rare and unique coin that was issued during a time of economic crisis in Germany. The coin was part of a series of emergency coins minted by the German government in the 1920s to address a shortage of small change. The coin's design features a stylized image of a kantine, or canteen, and the words "Kantine Pfeffer" (which translates to "canteen pepper") on the reverse side. The coin's iron composition was a result of the wartime economy and the lack of other metals available for coinage. Today, this coin is highly sought after by collectors due to its historical significance and rarity.
