Comment
Menzel: BBBInteresting fact
The 10 Pfennigs - Westhofen (Ludwig Kraft Möbelfabrik) 1917 coin from German notgeld (Germany) made of Zinc weighing 2.1 g is interesting because it was produced during a time of economic crisis and hyperinflation in Germany, specifically during World War I. The coin was part of a series of emergency currency, also known as "notgeld," which means "emergency money" in German. The coin's design features the image of a horse and a tree, which symbolizes strength and stability, and was likely intended to convey a sense of hope and resilience during a difficult period in German history.
