Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs coin from Pfaffenhofen am Ilm, minted in 1917, is interesting because it was produced during a time of economic and political turmoil in Germany. The country was experiencing hyperinflation, and the value of the German mark had decreased significantly. As a result, many cities and towns, including Pfaffenhofen am Ilm, began issuing their own local currency, known as "Notgeld," to address the shortage of official currency. The 10 Pfennigs coin was part of this local currency system and was used as a substitute for the official German mark.
