Interesting fact
The 5 Pfennigs - Roth (Heinrich Lades) ND coin was designed by German artist Heinrich Lades in the early 20th century. Lades was known for his work in various artistic fields, including sculpture, painting, and graphic design. He was particularly interested in creating art that reflected the cultural and historical heritage of his native Bavaria, and his designs for the 5 Pfennigs coin reflect this focus. The coin's obverse features a depiction of a traditional Bavarian woman in traditional dress, while the reverse features the coat of arms of the City of Roth bei Nürnberg. The coin's design was meant to celebrate the city's rich history and cultural traditions, and it remains a popular collector's item among numismatists today.
