Interesting fact

The 5 Pfennigs coin from Schönberg vorm Wald, issued in 1917, features a unique design on its reverse side. Instead of the usual imperial eagle, it depicts a stylized image of a hop plant, which was a significant crop in the region. This design was chosen to represent the town's agricultural heritage and highlight its connection to the land.
