Comment
Issuing authority: [Privat, Brandenburg]Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Pfennigs - Annahütte (Th. Heye Braunkohlenwerke) ND (1917-1918) coin from German notgeld (Germany) made of Zinc weighing 1.59 g is that it was issued during a time of economic crisis in Germany. The Notgeld (meaning "emergency money" in German) was introduced in 1914 to combat the shortage of small change during World War I. The coin's design features the logo of the Th. Heye Braunkohlenwerke company, which was a major employer in the region. Despite its small denomination, the coin has become a sought-after collector's item due to its historical significance and rarity.
