Comment
Issuing authority: [Stadt, Bayern]Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 50 Pfennigs - Fürth in Bayern 1917 coin is that it was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, known as the "Inflationary Period" (1914-1923), when the value of the German mark was rapidly decreasing due to excessive printing of money to finance World War I and other economic factors. As a result, many different types of coins were issued during this time, including the 50 Pfennigs coin made of zinc, which was a cheaper alternative to traditional metals like silver or gold. Despite its low value, the coin remains a popular collector's item today, providing a unique glimpse into Germany's economic history.
