Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 50 Pfennigs - Greifenhagen ND (1921) coin is that it was issued during a time of hyperinflation in Germany, specifically during the 1920s. This coin, made of iron and weighing 5.1 grams, was worth 50 pfennigs, which was a significant amount of money at the time. However, due to the inflation, the value of the coin decreased rapidly, and it became nearly worthless by the end of the decade. Despite this, the coin remains an interesting piece of history and a reminder of the economic challenges faced by Germany in the early 20th century.
