Comment
Menzel: BBBInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Germany. The 10 Pfennigs coin was introduced in 1924, just a few years after the end of World War I and the beginning of the Weimar Republic. The coin's minting was a result of the country's efforts to stabilize its economy and rebuild its financial system after the devastation of the war. Despite the challenges of the time, the coin's design and production were of high quality, reflecting the craftsmanship and attention to detail of the B.H. Mayers Hof-Kunst-Präge Anstalt mint in Pforzheim.
