Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Pfennigs - Kirchenlamitz 1917 coin is that it was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, known as the "Inflationary Period" (1914-1923), when the value of the German mark plummeted, and the prices of goods and services skyrocketed. To combat this issue, the government introduced a new currency, the "Notgeld" (emergency money), which included coins like the 5 Pfennigs - Kirchenlamitz 1917, made of zinc and with a low denomination, aiming to provide a stable alternative to the rapidly devaluing paper mark.
