Comment
Issuing authority: [Stadt, Rheinprovinz]Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Pfennigs - Gräfrath 1919 coin is that it was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, known as the "Inflationary Period" (1914-1923), when the value of the German mark plummeted, and the prices of goods and services skyrocketed. As a result, the government was forced to produce coins with lower denominations, such as the 5 Pfennigs, to keep up with the increasing demand for small change. Despite being made of iron and weighing only 2.5 grams, this coin remained a valuable and widely used denomination during that time.
