Interesting fact
The Hohensalza 10 Pfennigs coin was issued during a time of great economic and political turmoil in Germany. The country was facing severe inflation, and the value of the German mark had dropped significantly. In response, the government introduced a new currency, the "Notgeld," which was backed by the value of gold and other precious metals. The Hohensalza 10 Pfennigs coin was part of this Notgeld currency, and it was made of zinc, a relatively inexpensive metal, to help control costs. Despite its humble composition, the coin remains a valuable collector's item today, with some mint conditions selling for hundreds of dollars.
