Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Pfennigs - Artern ND coin is that it was minted during a time of economic turmoil in Germany. The coin was issued in 1922, during the hyperinflation period that followed World War I, when the value of the German mark had dropped significantly. As a result, many Germans turned to alternative forms of currency, such as local notgeld (emergency money) and foreign currencies, which led to the minting of coins like the 5 Pfennigs - Artern ND. Despite its low denomination, the coin is now a rare and valuable collector's item, with some mint conditions selling for thousands of euros.
