Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Pfennigs - Kolberg 1918 coin is that it was made of iron, which was a unusual material for coins at that time, as most coins were made of copper, silver or gold. The use of iron was likely a result of the wartime economy and the need for alternative materials due to the shortage of traditional metals. This makes the coin a unique and interesting piece of history.
