Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Pfennigs - Karlstadt 1917 coin is that it was produced during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, known as the "Inflationary Period" (1914-1923), when the value of the German mark dropped significantly due to the country's involvement in World War I and the subsequent economic crisis. As a result, many coins from this period, including the 10 Pfennigs - Karlstadt 1917, were made of cheaper metals like zinc and nickel-plated instead of the more valuable metals used in previous years, such as silver and gold. This change in metal composition was a temporary measure to address the economic challenges of the time.
