Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Pfennigs - Soldin 1917 coin is that it was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the early 1920s. The coin's low denomination and made of zinc, which was a cheaper metal than other coins, reflects the economic challenges faced by the country during that time. Despite its low value, the coin remains a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
