Comment
(Menzel: BBB)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Pfennigs - Halberstädt (Flugzeugwerke) 1918 coin is that it was made of iron, which was a unusual material for coins at that time, as most coins were made of copper, silver or gold. The use of iron was likely due to the scarcity of other metals during World War I.
