Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Pfennigs - Hechingen 1918 coin is that it was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the 1920s. The coin's iron composition was a result of the wartime economy and the lack of available metals, and it was one of the few coins that were produced during this time that did not have a portrait of a royal or noble figure on it. Instead, it featured the image of a German eagle, which was a symbol of national pride and unity. Despite its humble appearance, this coin is a valuable piece of history that speaks to the resilience and resourcefulness of the German people during a time of great economic hardship.
