Comment
These emergency coins are a special feature of a private emergency money with official approval. These emergency coins were issued by the Hessen-Nassauischen Hüttenverein. The Hütte in Strassebersbach obtained permission from the municipal council to issue emergency coins with the inscription "Gemeinde Strassebersbach" on their own account. The municipal council agreed to make the name Straßebersbach and the Hütte better known.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Pfennigs - Strassebersbach ND (1917) coin is that it was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany. The country was facing severe inflation, and the value of the German mark had dropped significantly. As a result, many merchants and traders began to use foreign currencies, such as the US dollar, instead of the German mark. The municipality of Straßebersbach, where this coin was issued, was no exception. The coin's low denomination and the use of zinc, a relatively inexpensive metal, reflect the economic challenges of the time. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a valuable collector's item today.
