Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Mark coin from Freudenstadt is that it was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the early 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 German leader or a national symbol, which was a common feature on coins from other regions. Despite its humble design, the ½ Mark coin from Freudenstadt is a valuable collector's item today, with some mint conditions selling for hundreds of euros.
