Comment
Issuing authority: [Kreis, Provinz Sachsen]Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 50 Pfennigs - Gardelegen ND coin is that it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in Germany. The coin was minted in 1921, just a few years after the end of World War I and the fall of the German Empire. The Weimar Republic, which was established in 1919, was struggling to stabilize the economy and maintain political stability. Despite these challenges, the 50 Pfennigs coin remained a widely used denomination and was an important part of everyday transactions for many Germans.
