Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs - Sömmerda (Dreyse and Collenbusch) ND coin was designed by two artists, Dreyse and Collenbusch, who were both well-known artists and engravers in Germany during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The obverse of the coin features a portrait of a young woman, representing the province of Saxony, while the reverse features a stylized image of a wheat ear, symbolizing fertility and prosperity. The coin's design was meant to reflect the region's rich agricultural heritage and its importance in the German economy.
