Comment
Issuing authority: [Städte, Bremen und Hannover]Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Pfennigs - Unterweserstädte 1919 coin is that it was issued during a time of hyperinflation in Germany, specifically during the 1919-1923 inflation period. This period saw the value of the German mark drop significantly, leading to the creation of new coins and banknotes with higher denominations to keep up with the increasing prices. The 10 Pfennigs coin, made of zinc and weighing 1.9 grams, was one of the coins introduced during this time to help alleviate the shortage of small change in circulation. Despite its low value, the coin remains a unique and interesting piece of history for collectors and numismatists.
