Comment
Menzel: BBBInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Pfennigs - Offenbach (Mainwerke G.m.b.H.) ND 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, where the value of the German mark plummeted, and the price of goods and services skyrocketed. Despite this economic instability, the 5 Pfennigs coin remained a stable denomination and was widely used in everyday transactions.
