Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs - Hassfurt 1917 coin from the City of Haßfurt (Federal state of Bavaria) made of Zinc weighing 1.75 g is interesting because it was minted during a time of economic and political turmoil in Germany. The coin was issued in 1917, during World War I, when the country was experiencing severe economic difficulties, including inflation and food shortages. Despite these challenges, the coin was still made of zinc, which was a relatively inexpensive material, indicating that the government was trying to conserve resources for the war effort. This coin is a small but tangible reminder of the sacrifices and challenges faced by the people of Germany during this time.
