Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Pfennigs - Riesenburg 1917 coin is that it was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the early 1920s. The coin's iron composition was a result of the wartime economy and the lack of available metals, and it was one of the few coins that were produced during this time that had a relatively low face value. Despite its low value, the coin is now a rare and sought-after collector's item, with some mint conditions selling for thousands of euros.
