The 5 Pfennigs - Geiselhöring ND (1918) coin from Market Town of Geiselhöring (Federal state of Bavaria) made of Zinc weighing 2.3 g is interesting because it was minted during a time of economic and political turmoil in Germany. The coin was issued in 1918, during the final year of World War I, and its production was likely impacted by the war effort. Additionally, the coin's design, which features a stylized eagle and the value "5 Pfennigs," was likely influenced by the political and cultural climate of the time.
