Interesting fact
The 5 Pfennigs - Trossingen 1918 coin was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, known as the "Inflationary Period" (1914-1924), when the value of the German mark dropped significantly due to the country's involvement in World War I and the subsequent economic crisis. As a result, many German cities and municipalities, including Trossingen, issued their own emergency currency, like this 5 Pfennigs coin, to address the shortage of small change and to help stabilize the local economy.
