Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 50 Pfennigs - Ahlen 1919 coin is that it was made of iron, which was a common material used for coinage during that time period, especially for low-denomination coins. The use of iron was preferred due to its durability and resistance to wear and tear, making it an ideal choice for coins that were intended for everyday use.
