Interesting fact
The 5 Pfennigs - Bad Neuenahr (Wilhelm Broicher) ND coin from the Municipality of Neuenahr (Prussian province of Rhine) made of Zinc weighing 1.5 g is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Germany. The coin was issued in the late 19th century, a period of rapid industrialization and urbanization, and it features an image of Wilhelm Broicher, a prominent local businessman and philanthropist. The coin's design and mintage were overseen by the Prussian government, which was then a major power in Europe. Despite its small denomination, the coin is a valuable piece of history that provides insight into the economic and political climate of the time.
