Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Pfennigs - Neuruppin ND coin is that it was made of iron, which was a unusual choice of material for coins at the time. Most coins were made of precious metals like gold, silver, or copper, but the use of iron in this case was likely a result of the economic constraints and shortages of valuable materials during the time period. Despite being made of a less valuable material, the coin still holds historical significance and is a unique piece of numismatic history.
