Interesting fact

The 10 Pfennigs - Radolfzell 1918 coin from the City of Radolfzell (Federal state of Baden) made of Zinc weighing 1.8 g is interesting because it was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, known as the "Inflationary Period" (1914-1923), when the value of the German mark dropped significantly, and the prices of goods and services skyrocketed. To combat this issue, the government issued new coins with lower denominations, like the 10 Pfennigs, to help people purchase everyday items. This coin, in particular, was minted in 1918, and it features the image of a crowned eagle, which was a common motif on German coins at the time. Despite its small denomination, this coin is a valuable piece of history that highlights the economic struggles of post-World War I Germany.
