Comment
Menzel: BBBInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Pfennigs - Grafenwöhr (Arbeiterkompagnie) ND coin is that it was minted during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the 1920s. The coin's low denomination and zinc composition were a result of the economic constraints of the time, as the government struggled to produce coins with more valuable materials. Despite its low value, the coin remains a unique piece of German history and a testament to the country's resilience during a period of economic hardship.
