Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 5 Pfennigs - Ziegenhals ND coin is that it was minted during a time of economic turmoil in Germany. The coin was issued in the late 19th century, during a period of high inflation and economic instability, known as the "Gründerjahre" (Founders' Years) in Germany. Despite the economic challenges, the coin was still made of iron, which was a relatively inexpensive material at the time, and it was designed with a unique and intricate design that reflected the cultural and historical significance of the City of Ziegenhals in Prussian Silesia.
