Comment
There are variants at the grapes:Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Pfennigs - Oppach (E.L. Kempe and Co.) ND coin from German notgeld (Germany) made of Aluminium weighing 1 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 use of aluminum as a material for the coin was likely chosen due to its low cost and abundance, as well as its durability and resistance to corrosion. Despite its low value, the coin remains a fascinating piece of history and a testament to the resourcefulness of the German people during a time of economic hardship.
