Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 5 Pfennigs - Geiselhöring ND (1918) coin is that it was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, known as the "Inflationary Period" (1914-1924), when the value of the German mark plummeted, and the prices of goods and services skyrocketed. To combat this issue, the government issued coins with lower denominations, like the 5 Pfennigs, to help people purchase everyday items. Despite the economic challenges, the coin still maintains a unique historical significance and is a sought-after collector's item.
