Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs coin featuring the Hirschfeld (W. Wagner) design was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the 1920s. The coin was part of a series of emergency currency issued by the German government to address the shortage of small denomination coins caused by the rapid inflation. Despite its small denomination, the coin is a unique piece of history that showcases the economic challenges faced by Germany during that time.
