Interesting fact
The 5 Pfennigs - Radebeul-Dresden coin from German notgeld (Germany) made of Zinc weighing 1.1 g is a rare and valuable collector's item. It was minted during a time of economic crisis in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the 1920s, when the value of the German mark plummeted. As a result, many businesses and cities issued their own emergency currency, known as "notgeld," to serve as a stable alternative to the devalued mark. The 5 Pfennigs - Radebeul-Dresden coin is one such example of notgeld, and its rarity and historical significance make it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
