Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs coin from Marktleuthen, Bavaria, 1917, is interesting because it was produced during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, known as the "Inflationary Period" (1914-1923). During this time, the value of the German mark (the national currency) dropped significantly, and the government had to print more and more money to keep up with inflation. As a result, many coins from this era, including the 10 Pfennigs coin, were made of cheaper materials like nickel-plated zinc, instead of more valuable metals like silver or gold. This coin's design, featuring a crowned eagle and the value "10 Pfennigs" on one side, and the inscription "Marktleuthen" on the other, was also used on other coins from this time period. Despite its humble materials, this coin remains a fascinating piece of history for collectors and enthusiasts.
