Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Pfennigs - Oberammergau 1917 coin is that it was issued to commemorate the 300th anniversary of the Oberammergau Passion Play, a traditional passion play that has been performed in Oberammergau, Bavaria, Germany since 1634. The coin's design features a depiction of the crucified Jesus Christ, which is a nod to the play's religious significance.
