I also have German coins with a swastika on them.
A pfennig was one hundredth of the German unit of currency, the DMark. Since this was replaced by the Euro, a pfennig has no currency exchange value.
A pfennig was 1/100 of the German unit of currency
it is an old currency penny like the old value of a farthing in England
50 to 75 cents, assuming average wear.
The value of a 1929 10 German pfennig coin can vary depending on its condition, but it is typically worth around $1 to $5 USD in the numismatic market.
The 1979 German 2 Pfennig is worth about 2 dollars depending on its condition. Some of these coins can be more valuable including the 5 Pfennig coin.
It is worth nothing. The Germans no long use the mark, but are on the Euro. When it was used a 50 pfennig was about 5 cents. One pfennig was a penny.
Since "Deutschland" is German for the country of Germany, the coin in question would be from Germany. "Penny" here is a bit of a misnomer, however, since the equivalent of a penny in German currency would have been a "Pfennig." There were Pfennig coins in circulation from the 9th century until the introduction of the Euro/cent in 2002. It was in 1873 with the introduction of the Gold Mark its division by 100 to equal 100 Pfennige that 1 Pfennig was assigned the value of a penny (or one cent). Previously, the Pfennig had been a coin of more value.
Sorry that was suppose to say a mint mark of an "A" on the PFENNIG.
The value of a 1924 German penny varies greatly depending upon the condition of the coin and where the coin was made. The values vary between $6.75-$81.00.
$2.50
Pfennig is a German coin that was used before the country's currency change to the euro. So, it is from the German language.
