Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Pfennigs - Unter-Peissenberg 1917 coin is that it was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the 1920s. The coin's value was originally set at 5 Pfennigs, but due to the rapid inflation, its purchasing power decreased significantly, making it almost worthless by the end of the decade. Despite this, the coin remains a valuable collector's item today, with some mint conditions selling for hundreds of euros.
