Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs coin from Lissa (Posen) is interesting because it was issued during a time of great change in the region. The Prussian province of Posen, where Lissa is located, was annexed by Germany in 1871 and became a key region for the country's agriculture and industry. The coin's zinc composition and 3.0g weight also make it stand out, as it was one of the first coins to use a non-precious metal and a lower denomination. This coin is a unique piece of history that reflects the economic and political shifts of the time.
