Interesting fact

The 5 Pfennigs - Traunstein 1918 coin was minted during a time of economic and political turmoil in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the 1920s. As a result, the coin's value was not stable, and its purchasing power varied greatly depending on the day it was used.
