Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs coin from the City of Saverne (Imperial territory of Alsace-Lorraine) made of Zinc weighing 1.7 g is interesting because it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe. The coin was issued in 1917, during the height of World War I, when the German Empire was struggling to maintain its territorial gains in Alsace-Lorraine, which had been annexed from France in 1871. The coin's mintage was likely intended to support the war effort and to demonstrate the German Empire's control over the region. Despite the tumultuous period in which it was minted, the coin remains a valuable collector's item and a piece of history.
