Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs - Kempten 1917 coin from the City of Kempten (Federal state of Bavaria) made of Zinc weighing 1.6 g is interesting because it was produced during a time of economic and political turmoil in Germany. The coin was minted in 1917, during World War I, when the country was experiencing severe economic difficulties, including inflation and a shortage of metals. As a result, the German government was forced to use alternative metals, such as zinc, to produce coins. This coin is a unique example of how a country's currency can be impacted by historical events.
