Comment
Issuing authority: [Stadt, Bayern]Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 50 Pfennigs - Eggenfelden 1921 coin is that it was issued during a time of hyperinflation in Germany, specifically during the 1920s. This coin, made of zinc and weighing 4.2 grams, was worth 50 pfennigs, which was a significant amount of money at the time. However, due to the inflation, the value of the coin decreased rapidly, and it became worthless shortly after its issuance. This coin serves as a reminder of the economic struggles Germany faced in the early 20th century.
