Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs coin was part of a series of coins issued during the hyperinflation period in Germany in the early 1920s. The coin's design, featuring a woman holding a shield and a sword, was meant to symbolize the strength and resilience of the German people during a time of economic hardship. Despite being made of zinc, a relatively inexpensive metal, the coin was still subject to heavy wear and tear due to its high circulation and use in everyday transactions. As a result, many of these coins have survived in poor condition, making them a sought-after collector's item for numismatists today.
