Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs - Sterkrade 1917 coin from the City of Sterkrade (Prussian province of Rhine) made of Zinc weighing 2.1 g is interesting because it was produced during a time of war, specifically World War I, and its design reflects the economic and political climate of the time. The coin features a simple and utilitarian design, with the number "10" on one side and the coat of arms of Sterkrade on the other, symbolizing the city's pride and identity. Additionally, the use of zinc as the material for the coin was likely chosen for its durability and affordability, as many other metals were being used for military purposes during the war. This coin serves as a small but meaningful reminder of the economic and historical context of the time.
