Comment
Issuing authority: [Stadt, Baden]Interesting fact
The 5 Pfennigs - Emmendingen 1914 coin from the City of Emmendingen (Federal state of Baden) made of Iron weighing 1.77 g is interesting because it was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the early 1920s. The coin's iron composition was a result of the wartime economy and the lack of other metals available for coinage. This coin is a unique example of how currency can be impacted by historical events and economic conditions.
