Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was produced during a time of economic crisis in Germany, specifically during the period of hyperinflation in the early 1920s. The coin was made of zinc, which was a cheaper alternative to traditional metals like copper or silver, and it was designed to be easily distinguishable from other coins in circulation. The coin's design features a portrait of King Ludwig III of Bavaria on one side and the value of 50 Pfennigs on the other. Despite its low value, this coin is now considered a rare and collectible item among numismatists.
