Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, known as the "Inflationary Period" (1914-1924), when the value of the German mark dropped significantly due to the country's involvement in World War I and the subsequent economic crisis. As a result, many different types of coins were issued during this time, including the 10 Pfennigs coin made of zinc, as a substitute for the traditional copper coins that were no longer affordable to produce.
