Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Pfennigs - Trier 1919 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. To combat this issue, the government introduced a new currency, the "Rentenmark," which was pegged to gold and restricted the amount of money in circulation. The 10 Pfennigs - Trier 1919 coin was part of this effort, as it was made of iron, a cheaper metal than the traditional copper or silver, and had a low denomination, making it more accessible to the general population.
