Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Pfennigs - Wangen im Allgäu 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 dropped significantly due to the country's involvement in World War I and the subsequent economic crisis. As a result, many German cities, including Wangen im Allgäu, issued their own emergency currency, like this 10 Pfennigs coin, to address the shortage of small change caused by the devaluation of the national currency.
