Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 5 Pfennigs - Calw 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 print more and more money to keep up with the inflation, leading to a significant decrease in the value of the currency. Despite this, the 5 Pfennigs coin remained a stable denomination and was widely used in everyday transactions.
