Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Pfennigs - Mühlberg a. E. 1917 coin is that it was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the early 1920s. The coin's iron composition was a result of the wartime economy and the lack of available metals for coinage. Despite its low denomination, the coin is a valuable collector's item today due to its historical significance and rarity.
