Interesting fact
The 50 Pfennigs coin from Ludwigsburg, issued in 1917, is interesting because it was produced during a time of great economic and political turmoil in Germany. The country was experiencing hyperinflation, and the value of the German mark had plummeted. As a result, many cities, including Ludwigsburg, began issuing their own local currencies, like this 50 Pfennigs coin, to address the shortage of small change. This coin, made of zinc and weighing 3 grams, was a tangible representation of the economic challenges faced by everyday people during that time.
