Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs coin from Meuselwitz (Saxe-Altenburg) issued in 1918 is interesting because it was produced during a time of economic and political turmoil in Germany. The country was experiencing hyperinflation, and the value of the German mark had decreased significantly. As a result, many cities and states began issuing their own emergency currency, like the 10 Pfennigs coin, to address the shortage of small change. The coin's zinc composition also makes it noteworthy, as it was a common material used for coinage during this period due to its low cost and durability. Despite its humble appearance, this coin serves as a reminder of a challenging period in German history.
