Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs - Zwiesel 1920 coin from the City of Zwiesel in Bavaria, Germany, features a unique design on its reverse side. Instead of the usual depiction of a German eagle or other national symbols, the coin features a stylized image of a Zwiesel glass, which is a type of glassware produced in the city since the 18th century. This design was chosen to promote the local glass industry and highlight the city's cultural heritage.
