Comment
Issuing authority: [Stadt, Hessen-Nassau]Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Pfennigs - Eschwege ND coin is that it was minted during a time of economic turmoil in Germany. The coin was issued in the late 1920s, a period of hyperinflation in Germany, where the value of the German mark plummeted, and the price of goods and services skyrocketed. Despite the economic challenges, the City of Eschwege continued to mint coins, including the 5 Pfennigs - Eschwege ND, which remained in circulation until the introduction of the Deutsche Mark in 1924. This coin serves as a reminder of the economic struggles faced by Germany during that time and the resilience of its people.
