Interesting fact
The 5 Pfennigs coin from Höchstadt an der Aisch, issued in 1917, features a unique design on its reverse side. Instead of the usual imperial eagle or other national symbols, the coin bears the image of a hop plant, which was a significant crop in the region at the time. This design was chosen to represent the city's agricultural heritage and highlight its importance in the local economy.
