Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Pfennigs - Heiligenhafen ND (1917-1923) 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 government's effort to reduce the cost of production and minting of coins, as the value of the German mark was rapidly decreasing. Despite its low value, the coin remains a unique and interesting piece of history for collectors and numismatists.
