Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs - Neustadt a. Donau ND (1918) coin was minted 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 coins like the 10 Pfennigs - Neustadt a. Donau ND (1918). These coins were issued by local municipalities and were backed by the city's credit, rather than the national government. Despite their low denomination, these coins played an important role in helping people purchase essential goods during a time of economic uncertainty.
