Interesting fact
The 5 Pfennigs - Trier ND (1917) coin from the City of Trier (Prussian province of Rhine) made of Zinc weighing 1.5 g is interesting because it was produced during a time of economic turmoil in Germany. Due to the First World War, there was a shortage of metals, leading to the use of zinc, a cheaper alternative, to produce coins. This coin is a unique example of how the war affected the production of currency in Germany.
