Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Pfennigs - Stendal ND coin is that it was minted during a time of economic turmoil in Germany. The coin was issued in 1921, during the hyperinflation period that followed World War I, when the value of the German mark plummeted. As a result, many Germans turned to alternative forms of currency, such as local emergency coins like the 5 Pfennigs - Stendal ND, which were issued by cities and towns across the country. Despite its small denomination, the coin played an important role in the local economy during a time of economic instability.
