Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the 1920s. The coin was made of iron, which was a cheaper alternative to traditional metals like copper or silver, and it had a relatively low denomination of 10 pfennigs, making it accessible to everyday people. Despite its low value, the coin is now a rare and sought-after collector's item, highlighting the historical significance of this time period.
