Comment
Issuing authority: [Stadt, Westfalen]Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 50 Pfennigs - Arnsberg 1917 coin is that it was minted during a time of economic and political turmoil in Germany. The country was facing severe inflation and the coin's low denomination and zinc composition were a result of the government's efforts to reduce the cost of production and maintain the value of the currency. Despite these efforts, the coin's purchasing power was still relatively low, and it was eventually replaced by a new currency in 1924.
