Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in Germany. The 10 Pfennigs coin was introduced in 1924, during the hyperinflation period that followed World War I, when the value of the German mark plummeted and the cost of living skyrocketed. In response, the government introduced a new currency, the Rentenmark, which was pegged to gold and helped to stabilize the economy. The 10 Pfennigs coin was part of this new currency system and was used widely in everyday transactions. Despite its small denomination, the coin is a tangible reminder of a significant moment in German history.
