Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Pfennigs - Polzin 1919 coin is that it was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the 1920s. The coin's low denomination and made of brass plated iron, which was a cheaper alternative to other metals, reflects the economic challenges faced by the country at that time. Despite its low value, the coin remains a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
