Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Pfennigs - Zweibrücken 1919 coin is that it was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, known as the "Inflationary Period" (1914-1924), when the value of the German mark plummeted, and the prices of goods and services skyrocketed. To combat this issue, the government issued coins with lower denominations, like the 10 Pfennigs, to help people purchase everyday items. Despite the economic challenges, the coin's iron composition was a unusual choice, as most coins of that time were made of copper or silver. This coin's design and composition were a result of the government's effort to produce coins that were both affordable and durable for circulation.
