Comment
Issuing authority: [Stadt, Pfalz]Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Pfennigs - Annweiler 1919 coin is that it was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, known as the "Inflationary Period" (1914-1924), when the value of the German mark was rapidly decreasing. As a result, many different types of coins were issued with varying denominations and compositions, including this particular coin made of zinc.
