Comment
Issuing authority: [Stadt, Bayern]Interesting fact
The 5 Pfennigs coin from Uffenheim, Bavaria, issued in 1917, is interesting because it was made of zinc, a material that was commonly used for coins during World War I due to its low cost and durability. This coin, despite being made of a less valuable material, still holds historical significance and is a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
