Interesting fact
The 5 Pfennigs coin from the Municipality of Blankenstein (Reuss) is interesting because it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in Germany. The coin was minted in the late 19th century, a period of rapid industrialization and urbanization, and it features a unique design that reflects the region's rich history and culture. Additionally, the fact that it was made of zinc, a relatively inexpensive metal, highlights the efforts of the municipality to produce a coin that was accessible to the general population, despite the economic challenges of the time.
