Comment
Issuing authority: [Privat, Brandenburg]Interesting fact
The 50 Pfennigs - Berlin, Spandau (Emil Neye) ND coin from German notgeld (Germany) made of Zinc is a rare and valuable coin among collectors due to its historical significance and limited mintage. It was issued during a time of economic crisis in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the 1920s, and was used as a substitute for the official German currency, the Reichsmark. The coin features an image of Emil Neye, a prominent German engineer and industrialist, on one side, and the Berlin Cathedral on the other. Its value as a collector's item lies in its unique design, historical context, and rarity, making it a sought-after addition to any coin collection.
