Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Pfennigs - Marktheidenfeld 1918 coin is that it was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, known as the "Inflationary Period" (1914-1923), when the value of the German mark plummeted, and the prices of goods and services skyrocketed. To combat this issue, the government introduced a new currency, the "Papiermark," which was backed by a gold standard, and featured a series of coins with low denominations, such as the 10 Pfennigs coin. Despite the efforts to stabilize the economy, the inflation continued to rise, and the value of the Papiermark continued to fall, leading to one of the most severe economic crises in German history.
