FUNCK old ref. 81.3Interesting fact
The 5 Pfennigs - Coburg 1917 coin from the City of Coburg (Saxe-Coburg and Gotha) is interesting because it was issued during a time of great economic and political turmoil in Germany. The coin was minted in 1917, during the midst of World War I, and its iron composition was likely a result of the wartime efforts to conserve precious metals like gold and silver.
