Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Pfennige coin from Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwerin is that it features an image of Frederick Francis II, who was the reigning grand duke at the time of its minting in 1872. This coin was part of a series of coins minted during his reign, which aimed to standardize the currency across the German states. The coin's design was created by the artist Hermann Wilhelm Schulze, who was known for his work on various coins and medals during the late 19th century. Despite being made of copper, this coin was still considered a low-denomination coin and was widely used in everyday transactions in the region. Today, it remains a sought-after collector's item among numismatists interested in German coinage.
