Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Pfennigs - Weissenfels an der Saale 1919 coin is that it was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, known as the "Inflationary Period" (1914-1924), when the value of the German mark plummeted, and the prices of goods and services skyrocketed. As a result, the 10 Pfennigs coin, which was worth only a fraction of a cent in 1914, became a valuable commodity, and its production was increased to meet the demand for small change. Despite its low value, the coin remains a popular collector's item today, and its design, featuring the city's coat of arms and the year of issue, is a testament to the rich history and culture of Weißenfels.
