Comment
Menzel: BBBInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Germany. The 5 Pfennigs coin was introduced in 1949, just a few years after the end of World War II, and it was used as a standard circulation coin in the Federal Republic of Germany. The coin's design features the city of Nuremberg's coat of arms, which includes a depiction of a castle and a lion, symbolizing the city's rich history and cultural heritage. Despite its small denomination, this coin is a valuable collector's item today, and it serves as a reminder of Germany's post-war reconstruction and economic growth.
