Interesting fact
The 5 Pfennigs - Pinneberg 1917 coin was minted during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, known as the "Inflationary Period" (1914-1923). During this time, the value of the German mark (the national currency) plummeted, and prices for everyday goods skyrocketed. As a result, many Germans turned to alternative forms of currency, such as local coins like the 5 Pfennigs - Pinneberg 1917, which were issued by cities and towns across the country. Despite being made of zinc, a relatively inexpensive metal, these coins were highly valued by the local population due to their scarcity and the economic instability of the time. Today, the 5 Pfennigs - Pinneberg 1917 coin is a rare and highly sought-after collector's item, serving as a reminder of a tumultuous period in German history.
