Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Pfennigs - Weida 1918 coin is that it was issued during a time of hyperinflation in Germany, specifically during the Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach era. The coin's value was equivalent to 10 pfennigs, which was a significant amount at the time, but due to the inflation, it quickly lost its value and became practically worthless. Despite this, the coin remains a valuable collector's item today, serving as a reminder of the economic challenges faced by Germany during that period.
