Comment
(Menzel: BBB)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the 1920s. The coin's value of 50 Pfennigs was significant at the time, but due to the inflation, it quickly lost its value and became practically worthless. Despite this, the coin remains a valuable collector's item today, serving as a reminder of Germany's economic history.
