Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern 10 Pfennigs - Wilhelm II (type 2 - small shield - Pattern) 1921 from Germany (1871-1948) made of Aluminium plated zinc weighing 2.97 g is that it was minted during a time of economic and political turmoil in Germany. The coin was issued in 1921, just a few years after the end of World War I, which had left Germany facing significant economic challenges, including hyperinflation and a large national debt. Despite these challenges, the coin still maintains a collectible value today, with some mint conditions selling for hundreds of dollars.
