Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Pfennigs - Aumund-Vegesack (Fr. Lürssen) ND coin from German notgeld (Germany) made of Iron weighing 2.1 g is that it was issued during a time of economic crisis in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the 1920s. The coin was part of a series of emergency currency issued by local authorities, known as "Notgeld," which translates to "emergency money" in English. The coin's design features the image of a sailing ship, symbolizing the city's maritime history and its connection to the North Sea.
