Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Pfennigs - Reichmannsdorf (Consumverein E.G.m.b.H.) ND coin from German notgeld (Germany) made of Zinc is that it was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the 1920s. The coin was part of a series of emergency currency issued by local communities and businesses, known as "Notgeld," which translates to "emergency money" in English. The coin's design features the image of a woman holding a shield with the letters "C.E.G.m.b.H." (Consumverein E.G.m.b.H.), representing the Consumers' Association that issued the coin. Despite its face value of 5 Pfennigs, the coin's actual value today is much higher due to its rarity and historical significance, making it a sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
