Comment
Issuing authority: [Stadt, Pfalz]Interesting fact
The 50 Pfennigs - Frankenthal 1919 coin was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, known as the "Inflationary Period" (1914-1924). During this time, the value of the German mark (the national currency) dropped significantly, leading to a period of hyperinflation. As a result, many Germans turned to alternative forms of currency, such as local emergency currencies like the 50 Pfennigs - Frankenthal 1919 coin. This coin was issued by the City of Frankenthal in the Palatinate region of Bavaria and was made of iron, which was a more durable and practical material than the paper notes that were widely used at the time. Despite its humble origins, the 50 Pfennigs - Frankenthal 1919 coin has become a sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
