Comment
Menzel: BBBInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 50 Pfennigs - Lüdinghausen (Maschinenfabrik Pilgrim) ND coin is that it was minted during a time of economic and political turmoil in Germany. The coin was issued in the late 1920s, a period of hyperinflation in Germany, which saw the value of the German mark plummet. This led to the introduction of a new currency, the Rentenmark, in 1923, which helped to stabilize the economy. Despite this challenging context, the 50 Pfennigs - Lüdinghausen (Maschinenfabrik Pilgrim) ND coin remains a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
