Interesting fact
The 50 Pfennigs - Crossen (Leonhardt Söhne) ND coin from German notgeld (Germany) made of Zinc weighing 3.6 g is a rare and valuable coin among collectors due to its historical significance and limited mintage. It was produced during a time of economic crisis in Germany, known as the "Notgeld" period, where local governments and private companies issued their own emergency currency to address the shortage of official currency. The Crossen family, who owned a printing company, designed and printed these coins, which feature a unique and intricate design. Today, these coins are highly sought after by collectors, and their value can range from a few hundred to several thousand euros, depending on their condition and rarity.
