Interesting fact
The 5 Pfennigs - Treuchtlingen 1919 coin was minted during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, known as the "Inflationary Period" (1914-1924). During this time, the value of the German mark (the national currency) plummeted, and prices for everyday goods skyrocketed. As a result, many Germans turned to alternative forms of currency, such as local emergency currencies like the 5 Pfennigs - Treuchtlingen 1919 coin. This coin, made of iron and weighing 2.1 grams, was issued by the City of Treuchtlingen in Bavaria and was used as a substitute for the rapidly devaluing national currency. Despite its humble appearance, this coin is a fascinating piece of history that highlights the economic challenges faced by Germany during this time period.
