Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Pfennigs - Stadtamhof (Anton Knabl) 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 originally set at 10 Pfennigs, but due to the rapid inflation, its purchasing power decreased significantly, making it essentially worthless by the end of the decade. Despite this, the coin remains a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
