Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Pfennigs - Schwäbisch Hall 1920 coin is that it was made of iron, which was a unusual material for coins at that time, as most coins were made of gold, silver, or copper. The use of iron in the production of this coin reflects the economic and political circumstances of the time, as Germany was experiencing hyperinflation and there was a shortage of more traditional coinage metals. The decision to use iron was likely a practical one, as it was a readily available and affordable material that could be used to produce a large number of coins quickly and efficiently. Despite being made of a relatively common material, the 5 Pfennigs - Schwäbisch Hall 1920 coin is still a valuable collector's item today, with some mint conditions selling for hundreds of euros.
