Comment
(Menzel: BBB)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Pfennigs - Hamburg (F.W.L. Poetsch G.M.B.H.) ND 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 inflation was caused by the government printing large amounts of money to pay for the costs of World War I, and it led to a significant decrease in the value of the German mark. As a result, many Germans turned to alternative forms of currency, such as local currencies like the Hamburg Pfennig, to stabilize their financial transactions. The 10 Pfennigs - Hamburg (F.W.L. Poetsch G.M.B.H.) ND coin is a tangible reminder of this unique period in German history.
