Interesting fact
The 5 Pfennigs - Suhl ND (1917) coin from the City of Suhl (Prussian province of Saxony) made of Zinc weighing 1.6 g is interesting because it was produced during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the early 1920s. The coin's value was originally set at 5 Pfennigs, but due to the rapid inflation, its purchasing power decreased significantly, making it nearly worthless by the end of the decade. Despite this, the coin remains a valuable collector's item today, serving as a reminder of Germany's economic history.
