Comment
Issuing authority: [Stadt, Württemberg]Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Mark coin from Freudenstadt, issued in 1918, is that it was made of zinc, which was a unusual choice of material for coins at that time. Most coins were made of metals like silver, gold, or copper, but the use of zinc in this case was likely due to the scarcity of other metals during World War I. This coin is a unique example of how the materials used in coin production can reflect the economic and historical context in which they were minted.
