Interesting fact
The 5 Pfennigs - Holenbrunn (J. von Schwarz) ND coin from German notgeld (Germany) made of Zinc weighing 1.5 g is a rare and valuable coin among collectors due to its historical significance and limited mintage. It was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, known as the "Notgeld" period, where local governments and private companies issued their own emergency currency to combat inflation and a lack of official currency. This coin, in particular, was issued by the town of Holenbrunn and features a unique design by artist J. von Schwarz. Its rarity and historical importance make it a sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
