Comment
Interesting fact
The ½ Mark coin from Cammin (Prussian province of Pomerania) made of Zinc weighing 2.8 g is interesting because it was produced during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of 1918-1923. The coin's value was not stable, and its purchasing power fluctuated rapidly, making it challenging for people to use it as a medium of exchange. Despite this, the coin remains a valuable collector's item today, providing a glimpse into Germany's economic history.
