Interesting fact
The 5 Pfennigs - Oberneuhüttendorf (Eduard Froeb) ND coin from German notgeld (Germany) made of Zinc weighing 1.6 g is a rare and valuable coin among collectors due to its historical significance and limited mintage. It was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the 1920s, when the value of the German mark plummeted, and local communities issued their own emergency currency, known as "notgeld," to address the issue. The coin's design, featuring a portrait of Eduard Froeb, a prominent local resident, and the village of Oberneuhüttendorf, adds to its unique appeal.
