Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Pfennigs - Löwenberg 1920 coin is that it was issued during a time of hyperinflation in Germany, specifically during the 1920s. This coin, made of iron and weighing 3.0 grams, was worth only a small fraction of the value of a single German mark at the time. In fact, the inflation was so severe that the German government was forced to issue coins with denominations as high as 100 trillion marks! Despite its low value, the 5 Pfennigs - Löwenberg 1920 coin remains a fascinating piece of history for collectors and numismatists today.
