One interesting fact about the 10 Pfennigs - Weissenfels 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, the government had to print more and more money to keep up with the increasing prices, leading to a massive inflation. The 10 Pfennigs coin, made of iron and weighing only 4.8 grams, was one of the many coins issued during this time as a substitute for the rapidly devaluing paper money. Despite its low value, the coin remains a interesting piece of history for collectors and numismatists today.
