Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Pfennigs - Hof 1920 coin is that it was issued during a time of hyperinflation in Germany, specifically during the Weimar Republic (1919-1923). The coin's iron composition was a result of the country's economic crisis, as the government had to resort to using cheaper metals to produce coins due to the shortage of more valuable metals like gold and silver. Despite its low value, the coin remains a unique piece of history and a reminder of the economic challenges faced by Germany in the early 20th century.
