Comment
Menzel: BBBInteresting fact
The 5 Pfennigs - Leipzig (Schusters Warenhaus) ND coin is a rare and unique coin that was minted in 1990 as a commemoration of the 800th anniversary of the city of Leipzig. It features the iconic Schusters Warenhaus building, which was a popular department store in the city, on its reverse side. The coin's design was created by the renowned German artist, Helmut Andexlinger. Due to its low mintage of only 30,000 pieces, it has become a sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
