Interesting fact
The 5 Pfennigs coin from Ohligs (Prussian province of Rhine) made of Zinc weighing 2.1g has an interesting fact that it was produced during a time of economic struggle in Germany during World War I. The coin was minted in 1917, a year when Germany was facing severe economic challenges due to the ongoing war, and the government had to resort to producing coins made of cheaper materials like zinc instead of the traditional silver or gold. This coin is a representation of the economic hardships faced by Germany during that time period.
