Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs - Speyer 1918 coin from the City of Speyer in the Federal State of Bavaria, made of iron and weighing 2.2g, is an interesting piece of notgeld, a type of emergency currency issued during times of economic crisis. Notgeld was used in Germany during the late 1910s and early 1920s, and this particular coin is a rare example of a city-issued notgeld coin.
