Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 50 Pfennigs - Dresden (J. M. Lehmann) ND coin is that it features an image of the famous German poet and writer, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, on its obverse side. Goethe was born in Frankfurt am Main, but spent a significant amount of time in Dresden, where he was a prominent figure in the city's cultural scene. The coin's reverse side features a depiction of the Dresden Frauenkirche, a beautiful Baroque church that was destroyed during World War II and later rebuilt. The coin's design serves as a tribute to the rich cultural heritage of Dresden and the contributions of Goethe to German literature.
