Brought back from Germany by my great uncle after World War 1, 107 years old and almost mint condition

I don't know what coin it is, just that it's German


Here's a little more information about this coin for you... you now know that you have type one of the two types that are available.

@HootyTheNightOwl I had a stash already, as I love hiking and camping, always use it regardless.
Hahaha! I didn;t have a clue about it til 2 years ago, didn't even know the symbol was on my card 🤣
You have a point, a practical joke, like mine yesterday on here when i said this name is an anagram of my real one!
She would only have been in her late 50s in 1959 and her mind didn't fail at all, she was bright as a button at 94 when she passed. I need to get to the bottom of this! calling Miss Marple 🤣
@DontLikeMondays I hate sanitiser... its doing a number on the skin of my hands. I'm having to moisturise them all year round ever since Covid19 became an issue.

"Her late 50's" - maybe she was 59 in 1959 and that could explain the mystery??? The year matches her age that year. 🤔

It looks like a 5 pfennig coin man

well ... 100 pfennig to a mark... so its effectively a 5 cent coin... but then german... from a 100 years ago...

@Tracos Thankyou, a decent sensible answer at last :) I could see what it was, just couldn't relate to what the value would have been.

It says it on it: it's a 5 penny German piece from 1914. You can sell it for a bit less than $1.
