Comment
Menzel: BBBInteresting fact
The 5 Pfennigs - Züllchow (Stettiner Oelw. Act. Ges.) 1919 coin from German notgeld (Germany) made of Zinc is a rare and valuable collector's item. It was issued during a time of economic crisis in Germany, known as the "Notgeld" period, when the government was unable to produce enough coins to meet the demand for currency. As a result, private companies and municipalities were allowed to issue their own coins, known as "notgeld," to fill the gap. The Züllchow coin is one of the rarest and most valuable notgeld coins, with only a few known to exist, making it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
