Comment
Menzel: BBBInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time when Germany was going through a period of rapid inflation, known as the "Inflation of the 1920s." This inflation was caused by a number of factors, including the cost of World War I reparations and the printing of money to pay for government spending. As a result, the value of the German mark (the currency at the time) plummeted, and coins like the 10 Pfennigs - Landshut became worth less and less. Despite this, the coin still holds historical value and is a fascinating piece of German history.
