The 5 Pfennigs coin from Lennep (Prussian province of Rhine) made of Zinc weighing 1.4g has an interesting fact that it was minted during a time of economic and political turmoil in Germany. The coin was minted in 1917, during World War I, when the country was facing severe economic challenges, including inflation and food shortages. Despite these challenges, the coin was still minted using zinc, which was a cheaper alternative to other metals, indicating the resourcefulness and resilience of the people during that time.
