Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Pfennigs - Mühlberg a. E. 1917 coin is that it was minted during a time of economic and political turmoil in Germany. The country was facing severe inflation and the coin's low denomination and zinc composition were a result of the government's efforts to reduce the cost of production and maintain the value of the currency. Despite these efforts, the coin's purchasing power was still relatively low, and it was not uncommon for people to use them in large quantities for everyday transactions. Today, this coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, serving as a reminder of a challenging period in German history.
