During this time, the value of the German mark (the national currency) plummeted, and the prices of goods and services skyrocketed. As a result, many Germans turned to alternative forms of currency, such as local emergency currencies like the 1 Pfennig - Selb 1918 coin, which was issued by the City of Selb in Bavaria. Despite its small denomination, the coin became a valuable commodity during this time, as it was made of zinc, a metal that was in short supply due to the war effort. Today, the 1 Pfennig - Selb 1918 coin is a rare and sought-after collector's item, serving as a reminder of a tumultuous period in German history.
