Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time when Germany was going through a period of rapid inflation, known as the "Inflation of the 1920s." This period saw the value of the German mark drop significantly, and as a result, many coins were minted with lower denominations to keep up with the increasing prices. The 10 Pfennigs coin, made of zinc and weighing 2.5 grams, was one such coin that was minted during this time. Despite its low denomination, the coin is now a rare and valuable collector's item, sought after by numismatists and historians interested in the economic history of Germany.
