Interesting fact

The 5 Pfennigs - Wurzach 1918 coin from the City of Wurzach (Federal state of Württemberg) made of Zinc weighing 1.7 g is interesting because it was produced during a time of economic and political turmoil in Germany. The coin was minted in 1918, during the final year of World War I, when the German economy was struggling with inflation and resource shortages. Despite these challenges, the coin was still made with a durable material like zinc, which was a common practice for coins of its denomination at the time. This coin is a small but tangible reminder of the resilience and resourcefulness of the people of Wurzach and Germany during a difficult period in their history.
