Interesting fact
The 5 Pfennigs - Crefeld 1919 coin from the City of Krefeld (Prussian province of Rhine) made of Iron weighing 2.55 g is interesting because it was produced during a time of economic and political turmoil in Germany. The coin was issued in 1919, just after the end of World War I, when Germany was facing severe economic challenges, including hyperinflation and a large national debt. Despite these challenges, the coin was made of iron, which was a relatively inexpensive material at the time, and it was designed to be used as a standard circulation coin. This coin is a tangible reminder of the economic and political struggles that Germany faced in the aftermath of World War I.
