Comment
Issuing authority: [Stadt, Pfalz]Interesting fact
The 5 Pfennigs - Frankenthal 1918 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 (the national currency) plummeted, and prices for everyday goods skyrocketed. As a result, many Germans turned to alternative forms of currency, such as local emergency currencies like the 5 Pfennigs - Frankenthal 1918 coin, which was issued by the City of Frankenthal in the Palatinate region of Bavaria. Despite its small denomination, this coin is a fascinating piece of history that highlights the economic challenges faced by Germany during this period.
