The 5 Groszy coin from Poland, issued during the German occupation of World War II in 1939, was made of zinc and weighed only 1.72 grams, which is relatively light compared to other coins of similar denominations. This was likely due to the wartime economic conditions and the need to conserve resources. Despite its small size, the coin still maintained its value and was widely used in circulation during that time.
