Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 10 Pfennigs - Wilhelm II (type 2 - small shield - Pattern) 1915 from Germany (1871-1948) made of Iron weighing 3.82 g is that it was minted during a time of war, specifically during World War I. The coin was minted in 1915, and it was a time of economic hardship and scarcity of resources, which is reflected in the coin's composition, as it was made of iron, a more affordable and readily available metal than other metals like gold or silver. Additionally, the coin's design, featuring a small shield and the image of Wilhelm II, was meant to symbolize the strength and resilience of the German people during this difficult time.
