Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Pfennigs - Glöthe (Saxonia AG) ND coin is that it was minted during a time of economic turmoil in Germany. The coin was issued in the midst of the hyperinflation of the 1920s, when the value of the German mark was rapidly declining. As a result, many everyday items, including coins, became scarce, and alternative forms of currency, such as notgeld (emergency money) and siege money, were issued to fill the gap. Despite the economic challenges of the time, the 5 Pfennigs - Glöthe coin remains a valuable collector's item today.
