Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 50 Pfennigs - Leichlingen 1920 coin is that it was issued during a time of hyperinflation in Germany, specifically during the 1920s. The coin's value was equivalent to 50 pfennigs, which was a significant amount at the time, but due to the inflation, it quickly lost its value and became worthless.
