Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 50 Pfennigs - Grafenau (Papierfabrik Elsenthal) 1920 coin is that it was made of zinc, which was a unusual choice of material for coins at that time. Most coins were made of traditional metals like copper, silver, or gold, but the use of zinc in this coin reflects the economic and political conditions of post-World War I Germany, where there was a shortage of traditional coinage metals. The use of zinc was a practical solution to address the shortage and ensure the continued circulation of coinage.
