Comment
Varieties with die rotation exist.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Pfennigs - Oberndorf 1918 coin is that it was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, known as the "Inflationary Period" (1914-1923), when the value of the German mark plummeted, and the prices of goods and services skyrocketed. As a result, the government was forced to produce smaller denomination coins, like the 5 Pfennigs, to keep up with the increasing demand for small change. Despite being made of iron and having a relatively low value, this coin is a unique piece of history that reflects the economic challenges faced by Germany during that time.
