Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Pfennigs - Vohwinkel 1918 coin is that it was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, known as the "Inflationary Period" (1914-1923), when the value of the German mark plummeted, and the prices of goods and services skyrocketed. To combat this issue, the government issued coins with lower denominations, such as the 5 Pfennigs, to help people purchase everyday items. Despite its low value, the coin is a unique piece of history that reflects the economic challenges faced by Germany during that time.
