Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Pfennigs - Offenbach am Main (J. Mayer and Sohn) ND coin is that it was minted during a time when Germany was going through a period of hyperinflation. In the early 1920s, the value of the German mark had decreased significantly, and the government was forced to introduce a new currency, the Rentenmark, to stabilize the economy. Despite this, the 5 Pfennigs coin remained in circulation and was a valuable asset for many Germans during this time.
