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.

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.
