Comment
Menzel: BBBInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time when Germany was going through a period of rapid inflation, known as the "Inflation of the 1920s." This period saw the value of the German mark drop significantly, and as a result, many coins were minted with lower denominations, such as the 5 Pfennigs, to keep up with the increasing prices of everyday goods.
