Interesting fact
The 50 Pfennigs coin from Meuselwitz (Saxe-Altenburg) issued in 1918 is interesting because it was produced during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, known as the "Inflationary Period" (1914-1923), when the value of the German mark dropped significantly due to excessive printing of money to finance World War I and other economic factors. As a result, many different types of coins were issued during this time, including this 50 Pfennigs coin made of zinc, which was a cheaper alternative to traditional metals like silver or gold. Despite its low value, this coin remains a unique and interesting piece of history for collectors and numismatists.
