Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 10 Pfennigs - Wilhelm II (type 2 - small shield - Pattern) 1917 from Germany (1871-1948) made of Aluminium weighing 1.14 g is that it was minted during a time of war, specifically during World War I. The coin was minted in 1917, and it was a time of economic hardship and scarcity of resources in Germany. The use of aluminum, which was a relatively new material at the time, was likely chosen due to its durability and resistance to corrosion, as well as its lower cost compared to other metals. This coin is a unique piece of history that reflects the economic and political conditions of Germany during World War I.
