Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 50 pfennig coin from Ober-Glogau 1918 is that it was made of iron, which was a unusual material for coins at that time. Most coins were made of copper, silver, or gold, but the use of iron was a result of the metal's availability and affordability during World War I. The coin's design, which features a crowned eagle and the words "50 Pfennig" on one side and a wreath of oak leaves and the date "1918" on the other, was also unique to this particular coin.
