Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Pfennigs - Lank ND coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Germany. The Prussian province of Rhine, where the coin was minted, was a region of significant industrial and commercial activity, and the coin's mintage reflects the growing economic importance of the region during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The use of zinc as the material for the coin also speaks to the resourcefulness and innovation of the time, as zinc was a more affordable and durable alternative to traditional metals like silver and gold.
