Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Pfennigs - Meuselwitz (Prehlitzgrube) ND coin is that it was minted during a time of economic turmoil in Germany. The coin was issued in the late 1920s, a period of hyperinflation in Germany, which saw the value of the German mark plummet. As a result, many Germans turned to alternative forms of currency, such as local notgeld (emergency money) and foreign currencies. Despite this, the 5 Pfennigs - Meuselwitz (Prehlitzgrube) ND coin remained a widely used and trusted form of currency in the region.
