Interesting fact

The coin's designer, Karl Müller-Salegg, was a renowned German artist and engraver who was known for his work on various coins and medals. He designed the 50 Pfennigs coin with a unique style that features a stylized image of a horse and rider on the obverse side, and a depiction of the Hengersberg castle on the reverse side. The coin's design was meant to represent the rich history and culture of the town of Hengersberg, and it has become a popular collector's item among numismatists.
