Interesting fact
The 5 Pfennigs - Halberstadt ND coin was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the 1920s. The coin was made of iron, which was a cheaper alternative to traditional metals like copper or silver, and was used to alleviate the shortage of small denomination coins in circulation. Despite its humble composition, the coin still holds historical significance and is a sought-after collector's item today.
