Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs coin from Köslin (Prussian province of Pomerania) made of Zinc is interesting because it was produced during a time of war, specifically during World War I, when many countries were facing metal shortages. As a result, some coins from this era were made from alternative metals like zinc, instead of the traditional copper or silver. This coin is a unique example of how war can impact the production of currency, and it serves as a reminder of the historical context in which it was created.
