Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Pfennigs - Rottenburg o. d. Laaber 1917 coin is that 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 was rapidly decreasing due to the country's involvement in World War I and the subsequent economic crisis. As a result, many different types of coins were issued during this time, including the 10 Pfennigs coin made of zinc, which was a cheaper alternative to traditional metals like silver or gold. Despite its low value, the coin remains a fascinating piece of history for collectors and numismatists today.
