Comment
Issuing authority: [Amtskörperschaft, Württemberg]Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Mark - Ellwangen 1918 coin is that it was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, known as the "Inflationary Period" (1914-1923), when the value of the German mark plummeted, and the prices of goods and services skyrocketed. To combat this issue, the government issued coins with lower denominations, such as the ½ mark, to help people purchase everyday items. Despite the economic challenges, the coin still maintains its historical significance and value among collectors today.
