Interesting fact
The Habelschwerdt 50 Pfennigs coin was issued during a time of economic crisis in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the 1920s. The coin was made of iron, which was a cheaper alternative to traditional metals like copper or silver, and it was designed to be easily identifiable and difficult to counterfeit. Despite its small denomination, the coin was widely used and remained in circulation until the introduction of the Reichsmark in 1924. Today, the Habelschwerdt 50 Pfennigs coin is a sought-after collector's item among numismatists, and it serves as a reminder of the economic challenges faced by Germany during the early 20th century.
