Interesting fact
The 5 Pfennigs - Friedrichswerth (Eduard Meyer) ND coin from German notgeld (Germany) made of Zinc weighing 1.56 g is a rare and valuable coin among collectors due to its historical significance and limited mintage. It was issued during a time of economic crisis in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the 1920s, when the value of the German mark plummeted, and the government was forced to issue emergency currency, known as "notgeld," to address the issue. The coin's design features the image of Eduard Meyer, a prominent German entrepreneur and philanthropist, who was instrumental in the development of the city of Friedrichswerth. Today, this coin is a sought-after collector's item, not only for its historical significance but also for its rarity and unique design.
