Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Pfennigs - Oels 1920 coin is that it was issued during a time of hyperinflation in Germany, specifically during the 1920s. This coin, made of iron and weighing 2.9 grams, was worth only 10 pfennigs, a small fraction of the value of the German mark at the time. This coin is a reminder of the economic challenges faced by Germany in the aftermath of World War I and the impact it had on the value of its currency.
