Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Pfennigs - Schauenstein (H. Heye Glasfabrik) 1918 coin is that it was made of iron, which was a unusual choice of material for coins at that time, as most coins were made of gold, silver, or copper. The use of iron in coinage was often seen as a sign of economic hardship or war-time scarcity, as it was a cheaper and more readily available material than other metals. This coin's unique composition makes it stand out among other coins of its time and adds to its historical significance.
