Comment

After World War II Marienwerder became the Polish city of Kwidzyn.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 10 Pfennigs - Marienwerder 1918 coin is that it was issued during a time of great economic and political turmoil in Germany. The coin was minted in 1918, during the final year of World War I, and its iron composition was a result of the wartime shortage of other metals. The coin's design, featuring a crowned eagle and the value "10 Pfennigs," was standard for German coins of the time, but its iron composition made it stand out from other coins in circulation. Despite its humble appearance, this coin is a unique piece of history that speaks to the resilience and resourcefulness of the German people during a time of great challenge.
