Comment
Issuing authority: [Stadt, Baden]Interesting fact
The 50 Pfennigs coin from Furtwangen (Federal state of Baden) made of Zinc weighing 2.43 g is interesting because it was produced during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of 1918-1923. During this time, the value of the German mark plummeted, and the government was forced to print more and more money to keep up with the increasing prices. This led to the production of many different types of coins, including the 50 Pfennigs coin, which was made of zinc instead of the more traditional metals like silver or gold. This coin is a tangible reminder of the economic challenges faced by Germany during this time period.
