Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs coin from Schmölln (Saxe-Altenburg) issued in 1918 is interesting because it was produced during a time of economic and political turmoil in Germany. The country was experiencing hyperinflation, which led to the creation of emergency coins like this one, made from materials like zinc instead of the traditional silver or gold. This coin's design, featuring the city's coat of arms and the year of issue, was likely meant to symbolize the resilience and determination of the people of Schmölln during a difficult period in their history.
