Issuing authority: [Stadt, Baden]Interesting fact
The 5 Pfennigs coin from Furtwangen (Federal state of Baden) made of Zinc weighing 1.75g has an interesting fact that it was minted during a time of economic and political turmoil in Germany. In 1918, Germany was facing hyperinflation, and the value of the German mark had decreased significantly. As a result, many cities and states began issuing their own emergency currency, including the City of Furtwangen. The 5 Pfennigs coin was one of the coins minted during this time, and it features a unique design that sets it apart from other coins of the same denomination. Despite its small denomination, the coin has become a sought-after collector's item due to its historical significance and rarity.
