Interesting fact
The 1 Pfennig coin from Kelheim a.D. 1918 is interesting because it was issued during a time of hyperinflation in Germany, when the value of the German mark was rapidly decreasing. As a result, many cities and towns, including Kelheim, issued their own emergency currency, like this 1 Pfennig coin, to serve as a stable alternative to the devalued national currency. This coin, made of zinc and weighing 1.1 grams, was likely used for everyday transactions in Kelheim and surrounding areas during that time.
