Comment
Issuing authority: [Stadt/Gemeinde, Westfalen/Rheinland]Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 50 Pfennigs coin from Gelsenkirchen/Rotthausen (1919) is that it was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, known as the "Inflationary Period" (1914-1923). During this time, the value of the German mark plummeted, and the prices of goods and services skyrocketed. As a result, the government was forced to print more and more money to keep up with the inflation, leading to a significant decrease in the value of the currency. Despite this, the 50 Pfennigs coin remained a stable and reliable form of currency, and it is still highly sought after by collectors today.
