Comment
Menzel: BBBInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Germany. The 10 Pfennigs coin was introduced in 1948, just a few years after the end of World War II, and it was used as a standard circulation coin in the Federal Republic of Germany until 2002. During this time, Germany underwent a remarkable economic recovery, known as the "Wirtschaftswunder" or "economic miracle," and the 10 Pfennigs coin was a symbol of this period of growth and prosperity.
