Interesting fact
The Hohensalza 5 Pfennigs coin was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Prussia. The coin was issued in 1855, just a few years before the Prussian government introduced the gold standard, which replaced the previous silver-based currency. This change in monetary policy was a significant step towards modernizing the Prussian economy and aligning it with the economic systems of other European powers. The Hohensalza 5 Pfennigs coin, made of iron, was a symbol of this transition and represented a new era of economic growth and development in Prussia.
