Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 50 Million Mark - Westfalen (Freiherr vom Stein) 1923 coin is that it was issued during a time of extreme inflation in Germany, known as the "hyperinflation" of 1923, when the value of the German mark plummeted and prices skyrocketed. This coin, made of aluminum and weighing 8 grams, was a rare example of a non-circulating coin issued during this time, as most coins were made of paper or cardboard due to the shortage of metals. Despite its low value, the coin remains a unique and interesting collector's item for numismatists today.
