Comment
Issuing authority: [Oberamtsstadt, Württemberg]Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 50 Pfennigs - Leutkirch 1918 coin is that it was made of iron, which was a unusual material for coins at that time, as most coins were made of gold, silver, or copper. The use of iron in the production of this coin reflects the economic and political circumstances of Germany during World War I, when there was a shortage of traditional coinage metals. This coin is a unique example of how the scarcity of materials during wartime can lead to innovative solutions in currency production.
