Interesting fact
The 50 Pfennigs coin from Eslarn, Bavaria, features a unique design on its reverse side. It depicts a traditional Bavarian couple dancing the "Schuhplattler," a traditional folk dance from the region. The dance is characterized by the distinctive "schuhplattler" sound made by the dancers' shoes as they slap against the ground. This design was created by artist Hans Müller and is a nod to the rich cultural heritage of Bavaria.
