Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs - Neustadt a. Donau ND (1918) coin was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, known as the "Inflationary Period" (1914-1924). During this time, the value of the German mark (the national currency) plummeted, and prices for everyday goods skyrocketed. As a result, many Germans turned to alternative forms of currency, such as local emergency currencies like the 10 Pfennigs - Neustadt a. Donau ND (1918) coin, which was issued by the City of Neustadt an der Donau in Bavaria. Despite its low denomination, the coin was made of zinc and weighed 2.3 grams, making it a tangible and durable alternative to the rapidly depreciating paper mark.
