Comment
Menzel: BBBInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of economic turmoil in Germany. The 10 Pfennigs coin was introduced in 1948, shortly after World War II, as part of a series of coins designed to help stabilize the German economy. Despite the challenges of the time, the coin has become a sought-after collector's item, with some mintage years selling for high prices at auction.
