Comment
Issuing authority: [Kreis, Pommern]Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs coin from Greifenhagen ND (1921) is interesting because it was issued during a time of hyperinflation in Germany, specifically during the 1920s. This coin, made of iron and weighing 3.3 grams, was worth only 10 pfennigs, a small fraction of a Deutschmark, which was the official currency of Germany at the time. Despite its low value, the coin is a unique piece of history that reflects the economic challenges faced by Germany in the aftermath of World War I.
