Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of economic turmoil in Germany. The 10 Pfennigs coin was introduced in 1923, during the hyperinflation period that followed World War I, when the value of the German mark had dropped significantly. The coin was made of brass, a less valuable metal, to reduce the cost of production. Despite its low value, the coin was still widely used in everyday transactions and became a symbol of the economic challenges faced by the German people during that time.
