Interesting fact

The 50 Pfennigs coin from Marktredwitz (1917) is interesting because it was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, known as the "Inflationary Period" (1914-1923), when the value of the German mark plummeted, and the prices of goods and services skyrocketed. To combat this, the government issued new coins with lower denominations, like the 50 Pfennigs, to help people purchase everyday items. Despite the economic challenges, the coin still maintains its historical significance and value among collectors today.
