Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs coin from Lüdenscheid (Prussian province of Westphalia) made of Iron weighing 4.04 g is interesting because it was produced during a time of economic and political turmoil in Germany. In 1918, Germany was facing hyperinflation, and the value of the German mark had decreased significantly. As a result, many cities and towns, including Lüdenscheid, began issuing their own emergency currency, like this 10 Pfennigs coin, to address the shortage of small change. This coin is a tangible reminder of the economic challenges faced by Germany during that time period.
