Comment

Interesting fact

The 5 Pfennigs - Nürtingen 1918 coin from the City of Nürtingen (Federal state of Württemberg) made of Iron weighing 1.7 g is interesting because it was produced during a time of economic and political turmoil in Germany. The coin was minted in 1918, a year marked by hyperinflation, political instability, and the end of World War I. Despite these challenges, the coin's iron composition was a deliberate choice to reduce the cost of production and maintain the coin's value during a period of economic uncertainty. This coin serves as a tangible reminder of the resilience and resourcefulness of the people of Nürtingen and Württemberg during a difficult period in German history.
