Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Pfennigs - Weissensee in Thüringen 1918 coin is that it was issued during a time of great economic and political turmoil in Germany. The country was experiencing hyperinflation, with prices increasing by a factor of 100 trillion (that's 100,000,000,000) between 1918 and 1923. This coin, made of zinc and weighing only 1.4 grams, was a response to the shortage of small denomination coins caused by the inflation. Despite its small value, the coin is a unique piece of history that reflects the economic challenges faced by Germany during that time.
