Interesting fact

The 5 Pfennigs - Mogilno 1916 coin is interesting because it was issued during a time of great turmoil in Europe. The Prussian province of Posen, where the coin was minted, was a region that had been annexed by Prussia in the late 18th century, and was inhabited by a mix of German and Polish populations. The coin's mintage was likely a response to the economic needs of the region during World War I, as many countries, including Germany, experienced economic hardship and inflation during this time. Despite its small denomination, the coin is a tangible reminder of a complex and tumultuous period in European history.
