Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 50 Pfennigs - Krauschwitz (D.T.S. Werke) ND coin from German notgeld (Germany) made of Zinc weighing 3.0 g is that it was issued during a time of economic crisis in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the 1920s. The coin was part of a series of emergency currency issued by local authorities, known as "notgeld," which translates to "emergency money" in English. The coin's design features the image of a woman, representing the city of Krauschwitz, and was minted by the D.T.S. Werke company. Despite its small denomination, the coin is a unique piece of history that reflects the economic challenges faced by Germany during that time period.
