Interesting fact
The 50 Pfennigs coin from Gotha, Thuringia, made of porcelain in 1921, is a rare and unique coin that was produced during a time of economic hardship in Germany. The use of porcelain as a material for coins was a result of the shortage of metals, particularly copper, which was a common material for coinage at the time. This coin is a fascinating example of how the city of Gotha adapted to the economic challenges of the post-World War I era, and it has become a sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
