Interesting fact
The 50 Pfennigs - Bad Tölz 1917 coin from the City of Bad Tölz in Bavaria, Germany, is interesting because it was made of zinc, which was a unusual material for coins at that time. Most coins were made of metals like silver, gold, or copper, but the use of zinc in this coin reflects the economic and political circumstances of Germany during World War I, when many traditional coinage metals were scarce or unavailable. The use of zinc in this coin also makes it stand out from other coins of the same era and adds to its unique historical significance.
