Comment
Issuing authority: [Oberamt, Württemberg]Interesting fact
The 5 Pfennigs - Göppingen 1918 coin was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, known as the "Inflationary Period" (1914-1923). During this time, the value of the German mark (the national currency) dropped significantly, leading to a period of hyperinflation. As a result, many Germans turned to alternative forms of currency, such as local emergency currencies like the 5 Pfennigs - Göppingen 1918 coin. This coin, made of zinc and weighing 2.1 grams, was issued by the District of Göppingen in the Federal state of Württemberg and was used as a substitute for the rapidly devaluing national currency.
