Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 10 Pfennigs - Thale am Harz 1918 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 increasing demand for small change. Despite being made of iron and weighing only 2.7 grams, this coin still held significant value during that time.
