Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Pfennigs - Lichtenau (Act. Ges. Glückauf) ND coin from German notgeld (Germany) made of Iron weighing 4.0 g is that it was issued during a time of economic crisis in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the 1920s. The coin was part of a series of emergency coins minted by various cities and towns in Germany to address the shortage of small change caused by the inflation. The coin's design features the logo of the Actien-Gesellschaft Glückauf, a mining company based in Lichtenau, and its unique iron composition makes it stand out from other coins of the time.
