Interesting fact
The 2 Pfennigs - Halberstadt ND coin was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the 1920s. The coin was made of iron, which was a cheaper alternative to traditional metals like copper or silver, and it was designed to be easily identifiable and difficult to counterfeit. Despite its low value, the coin remains a popular collector's item today due to its historical significance and rarity.
