Interesting fact
The 5 Pfennigs - Speyer 1917 coin from the City of Speyer in Bavaria, Germany, is interesting because it was made of zinc, a material that was commonly used for coins during World War I due to its low cost and durability. This coin, in particular, weighs 1.4 grams, which is relatively light compared to other coins of similar value at the time. Additionally, the fact that it's a "notgeld" coin, meaning it was issued by a local authority rather than a national government, adds to its unique history and collectibility.
