Comment
This image is to help understand the measurement to detiormine sub letter deffinitions. This coin is not as hard to detirmine as some other notgeld coins. This is the first worms coin I have gotten that the hoizantal line is not on the center of the star. Allowing me to show a gap between the horizontal line and the star center. Then the sencond feature to determine the sub letter is the distance from the right side of the one in 18 to center of the star. This coin is the F#613.2Ad version.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Pfennigs - Worms 1918 coin is that it was made of iron, which was a unusual material for coins at that time, as most coins were made of gold, silver, or copper. The use of iron in the production of this coin reflects the economic and political circumstances of Germany during World War I, when there was a shortage of traditional coinage metals. The City of Worms, located in the Federal state of Hesse, issued this coin as a form of emergency currency, known as "notgeld," to address the shortage of small denomination coins in circulation. The coin's design features the city's coat of arms and the year 1918, and it weighs 3.4 grams.
