Interesting fact
The Kripp am Rhein (Kripper Lederfabrik) 50 Pfennigs coin from German notgeld (Germany) made of Zinc weighing 2.89 g is a rare and valuable collector's item. It was minted during a time of economic crisis in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the 1920s, when the value of the German mark plummeted, and many cities and towns issued their own emergency currency, known as "notgeld," to combat the inflation. The coin's design features the Kripper Lederfabrik, a historic tannery in Kripp, a small town located in the state of Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. The coin's rarity and historical significance make it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists and collectors of German notgeld.
