Interesting fact
The 5 Pfennigs - Hersfeld 1919 coin is interesting because 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. To combat this issue, the government issued new coins with lower denominations, like the 5 Pfennigs, to help people purchase everyday items. Despite the economic challenges, the coin's design, featuring the Hersfeld Cathedral, still showcases the beauty and cultural significance of the city.
