Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 50 Pfennigs - Landeshut, Schlesien ND (1917) coin is that it was issued during a time of great economic and political turmoil in Germany. The coin was minted in 1917, during the midst of World War I, and its production was likely impacted by the war effort. Additionally, the coin was issued by the Prussian province of Silesia, which was a region that had been heavily industrialized and was a major contributor to Germany's war effort. The coin's design, which features a crowned eagle and a shield with the coat of arms of Silesia, may have been intended to symbolize the province's loyalty and support for the war effort.
