Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 50 Pfennigs - Braunschweig (Staatsbank) 1920 coin is that it was made of iron, which was a unusual material for coins at that time. Most coins were made of gold, silver, or copper, but the use of iron was a deliberate choice to reflect the economic and political conditions of the time. The coin was issued during a period of hyperinflation in Germany, and the use of iron was seen as a way to create a coin that was more accessible and practical for everyday transactions. The iron content of the coin also gave it a distinctive weight and feel, which made it easily recognizable and harder to counterfeit.
