Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs coin from Marktleuthen, Bavaria, 1917, made of zinc, and weighing 1.6g, is interesting because 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 dropped significantly, and the prices of goods and services skyrocketed. To combat this, the government issued new coins with lower denominations, like the 10 Pfennigs, to help people purchase everyday items. Despite the economic challenges, the coin still maintains its historical value and collectibility today.
