Interesting fact
The 50 Pfennigs - Coblenz 1921 coin was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, known as the "Inflationary Period" (1914-1924). During this time, the value of the German mark (the national currency) plummeted, and prices for everyday goods skyrocketed. As a result, the government was forced to print more and more money to keep up with the inflation, leading to a massive increase in the money supply. This coin, made of iron and weighing only 5.5 grams, was a response to the shortage of coins caused by the rapid inflation. Despite its low value, the coin remains a popular collector's item today, serving as a reminder of a tumultuous period in German history.
