Interesting fact
The 5 Pfennigs - Magdeburg-Buckau coin was part of a series of Notgeld coins issued during a period of economic crisis in Germany in the early 20th century. Notgeld coins were emergency currency issued by local governments and private companies to address a shortage of official currency. The 5 Pfennigs coin was made of zinc and weighed 1.8 grams, which was a relatively small weight for a coin at that time. Despite its small size, the coin was still widely used in circulation and remains a popular collector's item today.
