Comment
Issuing authority: [Stadt, Westfalen]Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Pfennigs - Gronau 1918 coin is that it was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, known as the "Inflationary Period" (1914-1923), when the value of the German mark dropped significantly due to the country's involvement in World War I and the subsequent economic crisis. As a result, many different types of coins were issued during this time, including the 10 Pfennigs - Gronau 1918, which was made of zinc, a cheaper metal than the traditional copper or silver used in coin production. This coin is a unique example of how the economic conditions of a country can impact the production of currency.
