Interesting fact
The 50 Pfennigs coin from Gotha, Thuringia, made of porcelain in 1920, is a rare and unique coin that was produced during a time of economic hardship and hyperinflation in Germany following World War I. The use of porcelain as a material for coins was a result of a shortage of traditional metals, and it is believed that only a small number of these coins were produced, making them highly sought after by collectors today.
