Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 5 Pfennigs - Oldisleben ND coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Germany. The coin was issued in the late 19th century, a period of rapid industrialization and urbanization in Germany, which led to a significant increase in the demand for small denomination coins like the 5 Pfennigs. Additionally, the coin was minted during the reign of Wilhelm II, who was the last German Emperor and King of Prussia, and its design reflects the imperial eagle and other symbols of German nationalism that were prevalent during that time.
