Comment
Issuing authority: [Stadt, Bayern]Interesting fact
The 50 Pfennigs coin from Kitzingen, Bavaria, made of porcelain in 1921, is interesting because it was produced during a time of economic crisis and hyperinflation in Germany, when many cities and towns issued their own emergency currency, known as "Notgeld," to address the shortage of official currency. The use of porcelain as a material for coins was a unique and creative solution to the problem, and it has become a sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
