Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Pfennigs - Steinach ND (1919) coin is that it was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, known as the "Inflationary Period" (1914-1924), when the value of the German mark plummeted, and the prices of goods and services skyrocketed. To combat this issue, the government issued coins with lower denominations, like the 10 Pfennigs, to help people purchase everyday items. Despite its low value, this coin is a unique piece of history that highlights the economic struggles of post-World War I Germany.
