Interesting fact

The use of iron in the production of this coin reflects the economic and political circumstances of Germany during World War I, when many traditional coinage metals were scarce or unavailable. The decision to use iron was likely driven by practical considerations, such as the need for a durable and affordable material that could be easily produced and distributed. Despite its humble material, the 10 Pfennigs - Heilbronn 1918 coin remains a valuable and interesting collector's item, offering a unique glimpse into the history of Germany's currency and economy during a time of war and upheaval.
