Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Pfennigs - Scheinfeld 1917 coin is that it was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, known as the "Inflationary Period" (1914-1923), when the value of the German mark was rapidly decreasing due to excessive printing of money to finance World War I and other economic factors. As a result, many different types of coins were issued during this time, including the 5 Pfennigs - Scheinfeld 1917, which was made of zinc and had a relatively low denomination compared to other coins issued during this period. Despite its low value, the coin remains a popular collector's item among numismatists today.
