| Additional information |
By 1915, Germany's copper and nickel supplies were already being diverted to military production, and the Reichsbank was actively exploring substitute coinage materials. This piece belongs to that experimental moment — a pattern struck to evaluate whether the existing 10 Pfennig design could continue in copper-nickel before the decision was made to abandon the alloy entirely in favor of iron. The wartime switch to iron coinage came swiftly; copper-nickel 10 Pfennig pieces did not enter circulation after 1916.
