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, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the 1920s. The coin's iron composition was a result of the wartime economy and the lack of available metals, and it was one of the few coins that were produced during this time that did not have a portrait of a king or emperor on it. Instead, it featured the image of a crowned eagle, which was a symbol of the German state at the time. Despite its humble appearance, this coin is now a sought-after collector's item among numismatists due to its historical significance and rarity.
