Interesting fact
The 5 Pfennigs - Lambrecht 1917 coin was minted 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 price of goods skyrocketed. To combat this issue, the government introduced a new currency, the "Papiermark," which was backed by a gold standard, and featured a variety of coins, including the 5 Pfennigs - Lambrecht 1917. Despite the efforts to stabilize the economy, the inflation continued, and the value of the Papiermark continued to drop, leading to the introduction of the Rentenmark in 1923, which finally brought an end to the inflation. The 5 Pfennigs - Lambrecht 1917 coin is a tangible reminder of this tumultuous period in German history.
