Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Pfennigs - Wansen ND (1917) coin is that it was issued during a time of great economic and political turmoil in Germany. The coin was minted in 1917, during the height of World War I, and its production was likely impacted by the war effort. The use of zinc as the material for the coin was likely a result of the wartime economy and the need for alternative materials due to the shortage of traditional metals like copper and silver. This coin is a unique piece of history that reflects the challenges and adaptations of a nation during a time of conflict.
