Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Germany. The 10 Pfennigs coin was introduced in 1873, shortly after the formation of the German Empire, and it remained in circulation until the early 20th century. During this time, Germany underwent rapid industrialization and urbanization, which led to a significant increase in trade and commerce. The coin's design, featuring a crowned eagle and the value "10 Pfennigs" on one side and the coat of arms of Liebau on the other, reflects the country's growing economic and political power during this period.
