Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Pfennigs - Krotoschin ND coin is that it was minted during a time of economic turmoil in Germany. The coin was issued in the late 1920s, a period of hyperinflation in Germany, when the value of the German mark was rapidly decreasing. As a result, many Germans turned to alternative forms of currency, such as local emergency currencies like the 10 Pfennigs - Krotoschin ND coin, which was issued by the City of Krotoschin in the Prussian province of Posen. Despite its small denomination, the coin played an important role in the local economy during this time of economic instability.
