Germany Empire Bavaria 10 pfennigs Laufen Funck-277.5 MS 62 PCGS iron coin 1918

The 1918 Bavaria Laufen 10 Pfennigs iron coin is a remarkable artifact of World War I emergency coinage, reflecting a period when traditional metals were scarce and alternative materials became essential.

The obverse presents a striking allegorical figure wearing a stylized helmet, holding a staff or scepter, while in the other hand appears a small architectural or civic object symbolizing the town of Laufen. The composition is enriched with flowing ornamental lines and cloud-like forms that create a sense of motion and depth. The reverse features a large central numeral enclosed within an ornate shield, surrounded by elegant scrollwork and decorative elements. Both sides are framed by a fine beaded border that enhances the coin’s visual balance.

Struck in iron and certified PCGS MS62, this coin retains clear details and an authentic historical surface. A distinctive and meaningful addition for collectors of wartime issues and German regional coinage.
