Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 50 Pfennigs - Frechen (Wachtberg I, Wilhelma, Windling) ND coin from German notgeld (Germany) made of Zinc weighing 3.2 g is that it was issued during a time of economic crisis in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the 1920s. The coin was part of a series of emergency coins minted by the German government to address the shortage of small denomination coins in circulation. Despite its small denomination, the coin is now a sought-after collector's item due to its historical significance and rarity.
