Interesting fact
The 5 Pfennigs - Landau 1919 coin is interesting because it was issued during a time of hyperinflation in Germany, when the value of the German mark was rapidly decreasing. As a result, many cities and towns, including Landau in der Pfalz, issued their own emergency currency, like this 5 Pfennigs coin, to serve as a stable alternative to the devalued national currency. This coin is a tangible reminder of the economic challenges faced by Germany in the aftermath of World War I.
