Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 5 Pfennigs - Wilhelm II (type 2 - small shield) coin is that it was minted during a time of significant political and economic change in Germany. The coin was introduced in 1890, just a few years after the unification of Germany under the rule of Wilhelm II, and it remained in circulation until 1915, when Germany was in the midst of World War I. During this time, Germany experienced rapid industrialization and economic growth, which led to an increased demand for coins like the 5 Pfennigs. Despite the challenges of war, the coin remained a stable and trusted form of currency, and it continues to be a popular collector's item to this day.
