Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Pfennigs - Offenbach coin is that it was minted during a time of economic turmoil in Germany. The coin was issued in the 1920s, a period of hyperinflation in Germany, when the value of the German mark plummeted, and the cost of living skyrocketed. Despite the economic challenges, the coin remained a stable currency, and its value remained relatively consistent, making it a sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
