Comment
Issuing authority: [Landesbank der Provinz Westfalen, ]Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of economic crisis in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the 1920s. The coin's high denomination of 50 million marks reflects the extreme inflation that occurred during this time, when the value of the German mark plummeted. Despite being made of gold-plated tombac, the coin's value was not stable and its purchasing power was limited due to the economic instability of the time.
