Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 10 Pfennigs - Wasseralfingen 1917 coin is that it was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the 1920s. The coin's iron composition was a result of the wartime economy and the lack of available metals, and it was one of the few coins that were produced during this time that did not have a portrait of a royal or noble figure on it. Instead, it featured the image of a wolf, which was a symbol of strength and resilience, and was meant to represent the town of Wasseralfingen's determination to persevere through difficult times.
