Interesting fact
The 5 Pfennigs coin from Marktleuthen, Bavaria, 1917, is interesting because it was produced during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, known as the "Inflationary Period" (1914-1923), when the value of the German mark dropped significantly due to the country's involvement in World War I. As a result, the government had to produce smaller denomination coins, like the 5 Pfennigs, to keep up with the high inflation rates and the need for small change in everyday transactions.
