Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs - Tempelburg ND coin from the City of Tempelburg (Prussian province of Pomerania) made of Iron weighing 2.4 g is interesting because it was issued during a time when coins were not yet standardized across Germany, and local cities and provinces were allowed to mint their own coins. This coin is a rare example of a local currency from a specific region in Prussia, and its iron composition makes it stand out from other coins of the time, which were typically made of copper or silver.
