Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs - Suhl ND (1917) coin from the City of Suhl (Prussian province of Saxony) made of Zinc weighing 1.9 g is interesting because it was produced during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the early 1920s. The coin's value was worth 10 pfennigs, a small denomination, but its production was significant as it helped to alleviate the shortage of small change during that time. Additionally, the fact that it was made of zinc, a relatively inexpensive metal, also speaks to the economic constraints of the time.
