Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Pfennigs - Gnadenfrei coin is that it was made of iron, which was a common material used for producing coins during the time of notgeld (emergency money) in Germany. This was due to the shortage of other metals, such as copper and silver, which were traditionally used for coinage. The use of iron for coins was a practical solution to address the shortage, and it also gave the coins a distinctive dark gray color that differentiated them from other coins made of different materials.
