Interesting fact
The 5 Pfennigs - Zilly (D - Zilly) ND coin was issued during a time of economic crisis in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the 1920s. The coin was made of iron, which was a cheaper alternative to traditional metals like copper or silver, and it was designed to be easily distinguishable from other coins in circulation. The coin's unique design and material composition make it a fascinating piece of numismatic history.
