Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Pfennigs - Ohrdruf 1918 coin is that it was issued during a time of great economic and political turmoil in Germany. The coin was minted in 1918, during the final year of World War I, and its production was likely impacted by the war effort. Additionally, the coin was issued during a period of hyperinflation in Germany, which saw the value of the German mark plummet and the cost of living skyrocket. Despite these challenges, the 10 Pfennigs - Ohrdruf 1918 coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
