Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs - Holzkirchen 1917 coin was minted during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, known as the "Inflationary Period" (1914-1923). During this time, the value of the German mark (the national currency) plummeted, and prices for everyday goods skyrocketed. As a result, many Germans turned to alternative forms of currency, such as local Notgeld (emergency money) and foreign currencies. The 10 Pfennigs - Holzkirchen 1917 coin, made of zinc and weighing 2.8 grams, was one of the few coins that remained in circulation during this time, and it became a valuable commodity for many Germans.
