Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs - München (Artillerie Werkstätten) ND coin was minted during a time when Germany was going through a period of hyperinflation. In 1923, the inflation rate in Germany peaked at 200,000,000,000% per month, which led to the devaluation of the German mark. As a result, many Germans turned to alternative forms of currency, such as foreign currencies or commodity-backed currencies like the 10 Pfennigs - München (Artillerie Werkstätten) ND coin, which was made of zinc and had a relatively stable value compared to the German mark. This coin is a tangible reminder of the economic challenges faced by Germany during the early 20th century.
