Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs coin from Schauenstein (H. Heye Glasfabrik) 1921 is interesting because it was produced during a time of hyperinflation in Germany, where the value of the currency was rapidly decreasing. As a result, many businesses and cities, like Schauenstein, began issuing their own emergency currency, like this coin, to serve as a stable alternative to the devalued German Mark.
