Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 10 Reichspfennig (Allied Occupation - Pattern) 1946 from Germany (1871-1948) made of Copper plated zinc is that it was designed by the Allied powers, specifically the United States, Great Britain, and France, as a replacement for the Nazi-era currency. The coin features the denomination "10" on one side and the words "Deutsches Reich" (German Empire) on the other, surrounded by a wreath of oak leaves. This design was meant to symbolize the Allies' goal of rebuilding Germany and promoting peace and stability in the region. However, the coin was never widely circulated and is now considered a rare collector's item.
