Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Pfennigs - Torgelow ND coin is that it was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany. The coin was minted in 1922, during the hyperinflation period that followed World War I, when the value of the German mark plummeted. As a result, many cities and municipalities, including Torgelow, issued their own emergency currency, like this coin, to serve as a stable alternative to the devalued national currency. This coin's iron composition and low denomination also reflect the scarcity of valuable metals and the need for small-value transactions during that time.
