Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Pfennigs - Heiligenstadt und Worbis 1919 coin is that it was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, known as the "Inflationary Period" (1914-1924), when the value of the German mark dropped significantly due to excessive printing of money, leading to a period of hyperinflation. As a result, many Germans turned to alternative forms of currency, such as local Notgeld (emergency money) and foreign currencies, like the US dollar. Despite this, the 5 Pfennigs coin remained in circulation and was a valuable asset for many people during this time.
