Interesting fact

The 10 Pfennigs coin from Krotoschin (Posen) is interesting because it was issued during a time of great economic and political turmoil in Germany. The coin was minted in 1917, during the height of World War I, and its production was likely impacted by the war effort. Additionally, the coin was issued by the Prussian province of Posen, which was a region that was heavily influenced by Polish culture and language. This coin may have been used in everyday transactions by people living in the region, and it serves as a reminder of the complex history and cultural diversity of the area.
