Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs - Glöthe (Saxonia AG) 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 many people struggled to afford basic necessities. In response, some municipalities like Glöthe began minting their own coins, like the 10 Pfennigs - Glöthe (Saxonia AG) ND, to serve as a stable alternative currency. This coin, made of zinc and weighing 1.6 grams, was one of the few coins that maintained its value during that time, and it remains a valuable collector's item today.
