Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Pfennigs - Ochtrup (Gebr. Laurenz) ND coin from German notgeld (Germany) made of Zinc weighing 2.4 g is that it was issued during a time of economic crisis in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the 1920s. The coin was part of a series of emergency currency issued by local authorities, known as "Notgeld," which translates to "emergency money" in English. The coin's design features the image of a woman holding a shield with the city's coat of arms, symbolizing the city's resilience and determination to overcome the economic challenges of the time.
