Interesting fact
The 50 Pfennigs coin from Frankenhausen (Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt) is interesting because it was made of iron, which is a unusual material for coins. Most coins are made of metals like copper, nickel, or zinc, but the use of iron in this coin's production gives it a distinctive weight and feel. Additionally, the fact that it was produced in a small town like Frankenhausen, which is now a part of the larger city of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt, adds to its unique character.
