Comment
Issuing authority: [Stadt, Westfalen]Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 50 Pfennigs - Buer in Westfalen 1919 coin is that it was made of iron, which was a unusual choice of material for coins at that time, as most coins were made of gold, silver, or copper.

The iron used in the coin's production was likely sourced from local ironworks in the Westphalia region.
