Comment
Issuing authority: [Stadt, Bayern]Interesting fact
The 5 Pfennigs - Gemünden am Main ND coin was minted during a time when Germany was going through a period of rapid inflation, known as the "Inflation of the 1920s." This inflation was caused by a combination of factors, including the government printing too much money and the cost of World War I reparations. As a result, the value of the German mark (the currency at the time) plummeted, and everyday items became incredibly expensive. In response, the government introduced a new currency, the Rentenmark, which was pegged to gold and helped to stabilize the economy. The 5 Pfennigs - Gemünden am Main ND coin was minted during this time of economic upheaval, and its iron composition was likely a result of the government's efforts to conserve precious metals like gold and silver.
