Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 50 Pfennigs - Lenggries 1917 coin is that it was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the 1920s. The coin's iron composition was a result of the scarcity of other metals, such as copper and silver, which were being used to produce more valuable coins. Despite its low value, the coin remains a unique and interesting piece of numismatic history.
