Interesting fact
The 5 Pfennigs - Roth (Heinrich Lades) ND coin was designed by German artist Heinrich Lades in the early 1950s. Lades was a prominent artist and engraver who also designed several other coins for the Federal Republic of Germany during this time period. The coin's design features a stylized image of a tree on the obverse (front) side, and the reverse (back) side features the denomination and the city of Roth bei Nürnberg's coat of arms. The use of zinc as the coin's material was a common practice during this time period, as it was a more affordable and durable alternative to other metals. Overall, this coin is a unique piece of numismatic history that showcases the artistic and cultural heritage of post-war Germany.
