Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Pfennigs - Backnang 1918 coin is that it was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, known as the "Inflationary Period" (1914-1923), when the value of the German mark plummeted, and the prices of goods and services skyrocketed. As a result, the government was forced to issue new coins with lower denominations, such as the 5 Pfennigs, to keep up with the rapidly increasing prices. Despite being made of iron and having a relatively low value, the coin is a rare and valuable collector's item today, given its historical significance and the fact that many of these coins were likely lost or destroyed over time.
