Interesting fact
The 5 Pfennigs - Strasburg Uckermark ND coin was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Germany. The coin was issued in the midst of the hyperinflation of the 1920s, which saw the value of the German mark plummet to nearly worthless levels. In response, the government introduced a new currency, the Rentenmark, which was pegged to gold and helped to stabilize the economy. Despite this turmoil, the 5 Pfennigs - Strasburg Uckermark ND coin remained a popular and widely used denomination, reflecting the resilience and adaptability of the German people during a time of great upheaval.
