Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs - Montabaur ND coin was minted during a time when the Prussian province of Hesse-Nassau was undergoing significant economic and political changes. The province was established in 1866, and it was during this time that the need for a standardized currency system became increasingly important. The 10 Pfennigs coin was one of the coins introduced during this period to help streamline trade and commerce within the province. It's also worth noting that the coin was made of zinc, which was a relatively new material for coin production at the time. The use of zinc in coinage allowed for the production of coins that were lighter, less expensive, and more durable than traditional metals like silver and gold. This made it easier for people to use the coins in their everyday transactions, and it helped to promote economic growth and development in the region.
