Interesting fact
The 5 Pfennigs coin from Lennep, issued in 1920, is a rare and unique coin that features a mistake in its design. The coin was meant to have the image of a German eagle on one side, but due to a mistake in the minting process, some of the coins were produced without the eagle, leaving a blank space where the eagle should have been. This error has made the coin highly sought after by collectors, and it is now considered a valuable and interesting piece of numismatic history.
