Issuing authority: [Stadt, Bayern]Interesting fact
The 5 Pfennigs - Erbendorf 1917 coin is a rare and valuable coin among collectors due to its historical significance and limited mintage. It was produced during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, known as the "Inflationary Period," when the value of the German mark was rapidly decreasing, and the government was forced to introduce new coinage with lower denominations to keep up with the inflation. The 5 Pfennigs coin was one of the lowest denominations introduced during this time, and it was only produced for a few years before being replaced by a new design. As a result, coins from this era have become highly sought after by collectors, and the 5 Pfennigs - Erbendorf 1917 is considered a prized addition to any collection.
