Comment
Issuing authority: [Stadt, Württemberg]Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 50 Pfennigs - Crailsheim 1918 coin is that it was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, known as the "Inflationary Period" (1914-1923), when the value of the German mark plummeted, and the prices of goods and services skyrocketed. As a result, the government was forced to issue new coins with lower denominations, such as the 50 Pfennigs, to keep up with the rapidly increasing prices. Despite being made of iron and weighing only 4.5 grams, this coin was a significant improvement over the previous paper money, which had become essentially worthless due to inflation.
