Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 50 Pfennigs - Berlin (Westf. Anh. Sprengstoff AG) ND coin is that it was made of iron, which was a unusual material for coins at the time. Most coins were made of traditional metals like copper, silver, or gold, but the use of iron in this coin's production was likely a result of the wartime economy and the need for alternative materials. The use of iron also gave the coin a distinctive dark gray color, which made it stand out from other coins in circulation.
