Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time when Germany was going through a period of rapid inflation, known as the "Inflation of the 1920s." This period saw the value of the German mark drop significantly, and as a result, coins like the 10 Pfennigs - Offenbach am Main (J. Mayer and Sohn) ND became less valuable over time. Despite this, the coin remains an interesting piece of history and a reminder of the economic challenges faced by Germany in the early 20th century.
