Comment
Menzel: BBBInteresting fact
The 5 Pfennigs coin from Nuremberg (Sprengstoff A.G.) ND is a rare coin that was minted during a time of economic and political turmoil in Germany. The coin was minted in 1923, during the height of the hyperinflation period in Germany, when the value of the German mark was plummeting rapidly. As a result, many businesses and individuals began to use alternative forms of currency, such as foreign currencies or local currencies like the Nuremberg 5 Pfennigs coin. This coin is a unique piece of history that serves as a reminder of the economic challenges faced by Germany during that time.
