Interesting fact

The 5 Pfennigs coin from Horb am Neckar, issued in 1918, features a unique design that sets it apart from other coins of its time. The obverse side of the coin depicts a stylized image of a horse, while the reverse side features a wreath of oak leaves surrounding the denomination. This design was created by the German artist and engraver, Karl Goetz, who was known for his work on various coins and medals during the early 20th century. Despite being made of zinc, a relatively inexpensive material, the coin's unique design and historical significance make it a valuable collector's item among numismatists today.
