Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Pfennigs - Tempelburg ND coin is that it was minted during a time of economic turmoil in Germany. The coin was issued in 1922, during the hyperinflation period that followed World War I, when the value of the German mark plummeted and prices skyrocketed. As a result, many Germans turned to alternative forms of currency, such as local notgeld (emergency money) and foreign currencies, which were seen as more stable. Despite this, the 5 Pfennigs - Tempelburg ND coin remained in circulation and was used as a means of exchange in the city of Tempelburg and surrounding areas.
