Comment
Menzel: BBBInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 50 Pfennigs - Eisleben (Mansfeldsche Gewerkschaft) 1918 coin is that it was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, known as the "Inflationary Period" (1914-1923), when the value of the German mark dropped significantly due to the country's involvement in World War I and the subsequent economic crisis. As a result, the coin's value of 50 pfennigs was not worth much during that time, and it was eventually replaced by a new currency, the Rentenmark, in 1923.
