Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs coin featuring Wilhelm II was minted during a time of great economic and political turmoil in Germany. The country was facing severe inflation, and the value of the German mark had dropped significantly. As a result, the government decided to introduce a new coinage system, which included the 10 Pfennigs coin made of zinc. Despite the challenges, the coin remained in circulation until the end of World War I in 1918. Today, it is a sought-after collector's item, and its design and history make it an interesting piece of numismatic history.
