Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 5 Pfennigs - Warendorf 1920 coin is that it was made of iron, which was a common material used for coinage during that time period, especially for low-denomination coins. This 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, and the use of notgeld (emergency money) became widespread. The City of Warendorf, located in the Prussian province of Westphalia, issued this coin as a form of notgeld to address the shortage of small change during this period.
