help with 1936 German coin

mymo

My daughter was given a large amount of coins of mixed age and currency.
She has been Googling them in her spare time to find out more about them.
A few turned out to be worth small amounts (<€30 she has no interest in selling any of these, just fascinated with them)
One she can't find is a German one, it reads Deutsches Reich 5 reichspfennig (5 inside a diamond with oak leaf? around it) on one side and the reverse has criss-crossing Wheat? stalks design, Small G above and dated 1936.
Naturally because she can't find one online she's dying to find out more.
I hope Someone can help.
Thanks.

Thanks for the help.
We'll try to find more after school tomorrow about Weimar Republic, and the area too. Also found some French franc coins from wartime, the Travail Famille Patrie type so she's looking those up too.
Lots of 1800's penny's and stuff, and mostly British but couple of beautiful Irish coins c1930's.
She loves history so really enjoying this. There's hundreds more coins yet in varying condition so i may be back for more advice.
Many thanks from us both.
