Comment
Issuing authority: [Kredit-Verein, Schleswig-Holstein]Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 50 Pfennigs - Elmshorn ND coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Germany. The coin was issued in 1929, just a few years after the end of World War I and the beginning of the Weimar Republic. The country was experiencing significant inflation and economic instability, which led to the introduction of a new currency, the Reichsmark, in 1924. Despite these challenges, the City of Elmshorn continued to mint its own coins, including the 50 Pfennigs - Elmshorn ND, which was used as a means of local exchange. This coin is a tangible reminder of the resilience and resourcefulness of the people of Elmshorn during a time of great uncertainty.
