Interesting fact
The 5 Pfennigs - Glöthe (Saxonia AG) ND coin was minted during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the 1920s. The coin was made of zinc, which was a cheaper alternative to traditional metals like copper or silver, and it was designed to be easily distinguishable from other coins in circulation. Despite its low value, the coin is now a sought-after collector's item among numismatists due to its historical significance and rarity.
