Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs coin from Liebau (Silesia) is interesting because it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in Germany. In 1920, the country was facing hyperinflation, and the value of the German mark had dropped significantly. In response, the government introduced a new currency, the Rentenmark, which was pegged to gold and was intended to stabilize the economy. The 10 Pfennigs coin was part of this new currency system and was used widely in circulation. Despite the economic challenges of the time, the coin was made of zinc, which was a relatively inexpensive material, and it weighed only 2.49 grams, making it a compact and portable form of currency. This coin is a fascinating piece of history that highlights the resilience and adaptability of the German people during a period of great turmoil.
