Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs coin from Stadtamhof (Anton Knabl) 1917 is interesting because it was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, known as the "Inflationary Period" (1914-1923), when the value of the German mark dropped significantly due to excessive printing of money, and many people struggled to afford basic necessities. Despite this, the coin still maintained its value and was widely used in everyday transactions.
