Comment
not in FUNCKInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 10 Pfennigs - Menden (Pattern) 1920 from City of Menden (Prussian province of Westphalia) made of Gold (.900) weighing 7.19 g is that it was designed by the German artist and engraver, Georg Herting. Herting was known for his work on various coins and medals during the early 20th century, and his design for the Menden 10 Pfennigs coin features a unique blend of modern and traditional elements. The obverse of the coin depicts a stylized portrait of a young woman, representing the city of Menden, while the reverse features a simplified rendering of the city's coat of arms. The coin's design was meant to symbolize the city's rich history and cultural heritage, and it remains a popular collector's item among numismatists today.
