Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs - Zilly (D - Zilly) ND coin was issued during a time of economic crisis in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the 1920s. The coin was part of a series of emergency currency issued by the German government to address the shortage of small denomination coins caused by the rapid inflation. The use of zinc as the material for the coin was also a result of the shortage of more traditional coinage metals like copper and nickel. Despite its low value, the coin remains a popular collector's item today due to its historical significance and unique design.
