Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Pfennigs - Itzehoe ND (1917) coin is that it was made of iron, which was a common material used for coinage during World War I due to the shortage of other metals. This coin was issued by the City of Itzehoe in the Prussian province of Schleswig-Holstein as a form of notgeld, or emergency currency, to help alleviate the economic strain caused by the war. Despite being made of a less valuable material, the coin still holds historical significance and is a unique piece of numismatic history.
