Interesting fact
The ½ Mark coin from Neudamm was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, known as the "Inflationary Period" (1914-1924). During this time, the value of the German mark (the national currency) dropped significantly, leading to a period of hyperinflation. As a result, many cities and towns, including Neudamm, issued their own local currencies, like the ½ Mark coin, to combat the inflation and provide a stable means of exchange for their residents.
