Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Pfennigs - Grünberg 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 woman, representing the city of Grünberg, and was designed by the artist Richard Schauffele. Despite its humble appearance, this coin is now a sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
