Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 50 Pfennigs - Aalen 1917 coin is that it was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, known as the "Inflationary Period" (1914-1923), when the value of the German mark plummeted, and the prices of goods and services skyrocketed. To combat this issue, the government introduced a new currency, the "Notgeld" (emergency money), which included coins like the 50 Pfennigs - Aalen 1917, made of iron and with a low denomination, to help alleviate the economic burden on the population.
