Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs - Gunzenhausen 1917 coin from the City of Gunzenhausen in Bavaria, Germany, features a unique design on its reverse side. Instead of the usual national emblem or coat of arms, the coin bears the image of a mythical creature known as the "Gunzenhausen Lion." This lion, which is not found on any other German coin, was included as a symbol of the city's history and culture.
