Comment
Issuing authority: [Stadt, Bayern]Interesting fact
The 50 Pfennigs - Dinkelsbühl 1917 coin from the City of Dinkelsbühl in Bavaria, Germany, is interesting because it was made of zinc, which is a relatively rare material for coins. Most coins from this time period were made of copper or silver, but the use of zinc in this coin reflects the wartime economy of Germany during World War I, when other metals were in short supply.
