Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 5 Pfennigs - Wurzach 1918 coin is that it was issued during a time of hyperinflation in Germany, specifically during the Bavarian Soviet Republic, which lasted from April to May 1919. The coin's value was equivalent to 5 pfennigs, a small denomination, but due to the inflation, it was practically worthless. Despite this, the coin remains a valuable collector's item today, with some mint conditions selling for hundreds of euros.
