Interesting fact
The 5 Pfennigs coin from Sinsheim, issued in 1918, is interesting because it was produced during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, known as the "Inflationary Period" (1914-1923). During this time, the value of the German mark dropped significantly, and the government issued coins with lower denominations, like the 5 Pfennigs, to help alleviate the economic burden on the population. Despite being made of zinc, a relatively inexpensive material, the coin still holds historical value and is a reminder of the economic challenges faced by Germany in the early 20th century.
