Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Pfennigs - Tübingen 1917 coin is that 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 plummeted, and the prices of goods and services skyrocketed. As a result, the government was forced to produce coins with lower denominations, such as the 10 Pfennigs, to keep up with the rapidly increasing prices. Despite being made of zinc, a relatively inexpensive material, these coins were still considered valuable and were widely used in everyday transactions.
