Comment
Issuing authority: [Stadt, Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt]Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Pfennigs - Leutenberg in Thüringen 1918 coin is that it was issued during a time of hyperinflation in Germany, specifically during the German Revolution of 1918-1919. The coin was minted in response to the severe shortage of small denomination coins, which made it difficult for people to purchase everyday items. The use of zinc as the material for the coin was also a result of the wartime economic conditions, as other metals were scarce or too expensive to use for coinage. Despite its low denomination, the coin has become a sought-after collector's item due to its historical significance and rarity.
