Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs - Rosenheim ND (1917) coin was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, known as the "Inflationary Period" (1914-1923). During this time, the value of the German mark (the national currency) plummeted, and prices for everyday goods skyrocketed. As a result, many Germans turned to alternative forms of currency, such as local coins like the 10 Pfennigs - Rosenheim ND (1917), which were issued by cities and towns across the country. Despite the economic challenges of the time, the 10 Pfennigs - Rosenheim ND (1917) coin remains a popular collector's item today, with some mint conditions selling for hundreds of euros.
