Interesting fact
The 50 Pfennigs coin from Lüdenscheid (Prussian province of Westphalia) made of Iron weighing 4.7 g is interesting because it was produced during a time of economic and political turmoil in Germany. In 1919, Germany was facing hyperinflation, and the value of the German mark had decreased significantly. As a result, many cities and towns, including Lüdenscheid, began issuing their own local currencies, like this 50 Pfennigs coin, to address the economic crisis. This coin is a tangible reminder of the economic challenges faced by Germany in the aftermath of World War I.
