Comment
Issuing authority: [Stadt, Rheinprovinz]Interesting fact
The 5 Pfennigs - Crefeld ND coin was minted during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the 1920s. The coin's low denomination and zinc composition were a result of the government's efforts to produce a large quantity of coins quickly and cheaply to meet the high demand for small change during this time. Despite its low value, the coin remains a popular collector's item today due to its historical significance and rarity.
