Interesting fact
The 5 Pfennigs coin from Adelsheim (Federal state of Baden) made of Zinc weighing 1.31 g is interesting because it was produced during a time of economic and political turmoil in Germany. In 1918, Germany was facing hyperinflation, and the value of the German mark had decreased significantly. As a result, many cities and towns, including Adelsheim, began issuing their own emergency currency, like this 5 Pfennigs coin, to address the shortage of small change. This coin is a rare example of a local currency issued during that time, and it highlights the resourcefulness and resilience of the people of Adelsheim in the face of economic adversity.
