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, as it was equivalent to a day's wage for many workers. Despite the economic challenges, the coin's mintage was quite high, with over 20 million coins produced. Today, it remains a popular collector's item, serving as a reminder of Germany's economic history.
