Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs - Holenbrunn (J. von Schwarz) ND coin from German notgeld (Germany) made of Zinc weighing 1.9 g is a rare and valuable coin among collectors due to its historical significance and limited mintage. It was issued during a time of economic crisis in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the 1920s, when the value of the German mark plummeted, and the government was forced to issue emergency currency, known as "notgeld," to address the issue. The coin's design, featuring a stylized image of a Holenbrunn castle, adds to its unique appeal and collectibility.
