Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs coin from Lützen (Prussian province of Saxony) made of Zinc weighing 2.5g has an interesting fact that it was minted during a time of economic and political turmoil in Germany. The coin was issued in 1919, shortly after the end of World War I, when Germany was facing hyperinflation and economic instability. The government had to issue new currency to keep up with the increasing prices, and the 10 Pfennigs coin was one of the coins that were minted during this time. Despite the economic challenges, the coin still maintains its historical significance and value among collectors today.
