Comment
Issuing authority: [Kreis, Hessen]Interesting fact
The 5 Pfennigs - Dieburg 1920 coin was minted during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, known as the "Inflationary Period" (1914-1923). During this time, the value of the German mark plummeted, and prices skyrocketed. In response, the government printed more and more money, leading to a massive inflation. The 5 Pfennigs - Dieburg 1920 coin, made of iron, was one of the few coins that maintained its value during this time, as it was backed by the gold standard. This made it a sought-after coin among collectors and investors, and its value has remained relatively stable to this day.
