Comment
Menzel: BBBInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Pfennigs - Nürnberg (A. Herbst and M. Ostertag Baugeschäft) ND coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change 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 and the cost of living skyrocket. Despite this challenging economic climate, the City of Nuremberg continued to mint coins, including this 5 Pfennigs coin, which was made of zinc and weighed 1.7 grams. This coin is a tangible reminder of the resilience and determination of the people of Nuremberg during a time of great economic hardship.
