Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Millionen Mark coin from Menden, Prussian province of Westphalia, is that it was issued during a time of extreme inflation in Germany, known as the "Hyperinflation" period, which lasted from 1921 to 1923. During this time, the value of the German mark dropped significantly, and the government was forced to print more and more money to keep up with the increasing prices. This led to the creation of coins like the 5 Millionen Mark, which were made of gold-plated brass and had a relatively low denomination compared to other coins issued during this time. Despite their low value, these coins are now highly sought after by collectors due to their historical significance and rarity.
