Comment
Issuing authority: [Kommunalverband, Bayern]Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 50 Pfennigs - Bogen 1917 coin is that it was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the 1920s. The coin was made of zinc, which was a cheaper alternative to traditional metals like silver or gold, and was used to reduce the cost of producing coins. Despite its low value, the coin is still a collectible item today and can be found in auctions and online marketplaces.
