Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 50 Pfennigs - Linden-Dahlhausen 1921 coin is that it was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, known as the "Inflationary Period" (1914-1924), when the value of the German mark dropped significantly due to the country's economic struggles following World War I. As a result, many different types of coins were issued during this time, including the 50 Pfennigs - Linden-Dahlhausen 1921, which was made of iron and weighed 5.2 grams. Despite its relatively low value, this coin is now considered a rare and collectible item among numismatists.
