Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Pfennigs - Lassan (Carl Duden) 1917 coin is that it was issued during a time of great economic and political turmoil in Germany. The coin was minted in 1917, during the midst of World War I, and its production was likely impacted by the war effort. Additionally, the coin was issued during a period of hyperinflation in Germany, which saw the value of the German mark plummet and the cost of living skyrocket. Despite these challenges, the 10 Pfennigs coin remained in circulation and was an important part of everyday transactions for many Germans.
