Comment
Menzel: BBBInteresting fact
The 50 Pfennigs - Görchen (Zucker Fabrik) ND coin from German notgeld (Germany) made of Zinc weighing 3.3 g is a rare and valuable coin among collectors due to its historical significance and limited mintage. It was issued during a time of economic crisis in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the 1920s, and was used as a substitute for the official German currency, the Reichsmark. The coin's design features the image of a sugar factory, which was a prominent industry in Görchen at the time, and its unusual design and material make it stand out among other coins from the same period.
