Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs coin from Saargemünd 1917 is interesting because it was minted during a brief period of time when the city of Sarreguemines was part of the Imperial territory of Alsace-Lorraine, which was a disputed region between Germany and France during World War I. The coin's design and mintage were overseen by the German government, but the city was eventually returned to France after the war. As a result, coins like this one are a rare and unique piece of history that reflect the complex political and cultural dynamics of the time.
