Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Pfennigs - Siersleben 1920 coin is that it was issued during a time of hyperinflation in Germany, specifically during the 1920s. This coin, made of iron and weighing 2.5 grams, was a result of the economic crisis that Germany faced after World War I, which led to a significant decrease in the value of the German mark. The coin's low denomination and metal composition were a result of the government's attempt to control inflation and stabilize the economy. Despite its low value, the coin remains a valuable collector's item today, serving as a reminder of Germany's economic history.
