Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 50 Pfennigs - Kornwestheim 1918 coin is that it was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, known as the "Inflationary Period" (1914-1923), when the value of the German mark plummeted, and the prices of goods and services skyrocketed. As a result, many different types of coins were issued with varying denominations and compositions, like this 50 Pfennigs coin made of zinc, to try to keep up with the rapidly changing economic landscape.
