Comment
Issuing authority: [Stadt, Pfalz]Interesting fact
The 50 Pfennigs - Annweiler 1919 coin from the City of Annweiler in Bavaria, Germany, is interesting because it was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, known as the "Inflationary Period" (1914-1924), when the value of the German mark plummeted, and the prices of goods and services skyrocketed. As a result, the government was forced to print more and more money, leading to a proliferation of different coin denominations and designs, like this 50 Pfennigs coin made of zinc.
