Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Pfennigs - Ottmachau 1920 coin is that it was issued during a time of hyperinflation in Germany, specifically during the 1920s. This coin, made of iron and weighing 3.1 grams, was worth only 10 pfennigs, a small fraction of a German mark, which was the official currency at the time. Due to the economic crisis, the value of the mark dropped significantly, and the prices of goods and services skyrocketed, making it difficult for people to afford basic necessities. This coin serves as a reminder of the economic challenges faced by Germany in the early 20th century.
