Comment
Menzel: BBBInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Pfennigs - Lützkendorf (Grube Cecilie W.W.) ND coin from German notgeld (Germany) made of Nickel plated zinc weighing 1.6 g is that it was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the 1920s. The coin was part of a series of emergency currency issued by local authorities, known as "notgeld," which translates to "emergency money" in English. The coin's design features the image of a miner, reflecting the region's rich mining history. Despite its face value of only 5 Pfennigs, the coin is now a sought-after collector's item due to its historical significance and rarity.
