Interesting fact
The 5 Pfennigs - Lank ND coin was minted during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the 1920s. The coin's low denomination and zinc composition were a result of the government's efforts to produce a coin that was affordable and accessible to the general population during a time of economic hardship. Despite its low value, the coin remains a popular collector's item today due to its historical significance and rarity.
