Comment
Exists also without a control number (F#280.B)Interesting fact
The 50 Pfennigs - Lauter ND coin was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, known as the "Inflationary Period" (1914-1924), when the value of the German mark plummeted, and the price of goods and services skyrocketed. To combat this issue, the government issued "notgeld" (emergency money) in the form of coins and banknotes, like the 50 Pfennigs - Lauter ND, which were made of cheaper materials like zinc and had a limited circulation. This coin is a rare example of a notgeld coin that was issued during this time, and its value today is highly sought after by collectors.
