Interesting fact

During this time, the value of the German mark (the national currency) plummeted, and prices for everyday goods skyrocketed. As a result, many Germans turned to alternative forms of currency, such as local emergency currencies like the 50 Pfennigs - Herrenberg 1920 coin. This coin was issued by the City of Herrenberg in the Federal state of Württemberg and was made of zinc, which was a more affordable material than traditional metals like gold or silver. Despite its humble origins, the 50 Pfennigs - Herrenberg 1920 coin remains a fascinating piece of German history and a testament to the resourcefulness of the German people during a time of economic hardship.
