Interesting fact

The 5 Pfennigs - Ingolstadt (G.G.F.) ND coin was minted during a time when Germany was going through a period of rapid inflation, known as the "Inflation of the 1920s." During this time, the value of the German mark (the country's currency) plummeted, and prices for everyday goods skyrocketed. As a result, the German government was forced to produce larger denomination coins, such as the 5 Pfennigs coin, to keep up with the increasing prices. This coin, made of zinc and weighing 1.8 grams, was one of the smallest denomination coins produced during this time, but it still played an important role in the economy of the time.
