Interesting fact
The 5 Pfennigs - Rheydt (Hermann Schött Actiengesellschaft) 1917 coin from German notgeld (Germany) made of Zinc is a rare and valuable collector's item. It was issued during a time of economic crisis in Germany, known as the "Notgeld" period, when many cities and towns issued their own emergency currency due to a shortage of official currency. The coin's design features the image of a horse and a tree, and it is believed that only a small number of these coins were produced, making it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
