Interesting fact

The 50 Pfennigs coin from Forbach (Imperial territory of Alsace-Lorraine) made of Zinc is interesting because it was minted during the period of German rule over Alsace-Lorraine, which was a region in eastern France that was annexed by Germany in 1871 and remained under German control until the end of World War I in 1918. The coin features the image of a crowned eagle, which was a common motif on German coins during this period, and the inscription "Deutsches Reich" (German Empire) on the obverse, indicating its status as a coin of the German Empire.
