Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Pfennigs - Schönberg ND (1917) coin is that it was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the 1920s. The coin's value was equivalent to 10 pfennigs, a small denomination, but due to the inflation, its purchasing power was minimal. Despite this, the coin remains a valuable collector's item today, with some mint conditions selling for hundreds of euros.
