Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs - Hersbruck 1917 coin was minted during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, known as the "Inflationary Period" (1914-1923), when the value of the German mark dropped significantly due to excessive printing of money to finance World War I and other economic factors. As a result, the 10 Pfennigs coin was one of the lowest denomination coins minted during this time, and its value was not worth much in comparison to other coins or currencies. Despite its low value, the coin remains an interesting piece of history for collectors and numismatists today.
