Interesting fact
The ½ Mark coin from Bärwalde N/M ND, made of zinc and weighing 2.9g, is a rare example of a coin that was issued during a time of economic crisis in Germany. The Notgeld (emergency money) was introduced in 1923 as a response to the hyperinflation of the German mark, which had rendered the official currency almost worthless. The ½ Mark coin was one of the denominations issued during this time, and it features a unique design that reflects the cultural and historical context of the period. Despite its relatively low value, this coin has become a sought-after collector's item due to its rarity and historical significance.
