Interesting fact
The 5 Pfennigs - Neurath (Gewerkschaft) ND coin from German notgeld (Germany) made of Zinc weighing 1.6 g is a rare and valuable collector's item. It was minted during a time of economic crisis in Germany, known as the "Notgeld" period, when many cities and towns issued their own emergency currency due to a shortage of official currency. This coin, in particular, was issued by the Neurath workers' union and features a unique design that represents the unity and strength of the working class. Its rarity and historical significance make it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists and collectors of German notgeld coins.
