Interesting fact
The 5 Pfennigs - Lehesten ND coin from the City of Lehesten (Saxe-Meiningen) is interesting because it was made of iron, which was a unusual choice of material for coins at that time, as most coins were made of copper, silver or gold. This choice of material was likely due to the scarcity of other metals during the time period.
