Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs - Ruppersdorf (Chamottefabrik) ND coin from German notgeld (Germany) made of Zinc weighing 1.7 g is a rare and valuable coin among collectors due to its historical significance and limited mintage. It was issued during a time of economic crisis in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the 1920s, when the value of the German mark plummeted, and the government was forced to issue emergency currency, known as "notgeld," to address the issue. The coin's design features the image of a factory, which represents the industrialization and economic growth of Germany during that time.
