Interesting fact
The 5 Pfennigs - Warburg 1917 coin was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, known as the "Inflationary Period" (1914-1923), 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, the government was forced to produce smaller denomination coins, like the 5 Pfennigs, to keep up with the high inflation rates and the need for small change in everyday transactions.
