Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs - Koschmin 1918 coin from the City of Koschmin (Posen) in the Prussian province of Posen is interesting because it was made of zinc, which was a unusual material for coins at that time. Most coins were made of metals like copper, silver, or gold, but the use of zinc in this coin reflects the economic and political circumstances of Germany during World War I, when there was a shortage of traditional coinage metals. The use of zinc in coins was a common practice in some European countries during this period, but it is still a unique feature of this particular coin.
