Interesting fact
The 50 Pfennigs coin from Meuselwitz (Prehlitzgrube) ND is interesting because it was issued during a time when Germany was going through a period of hyperinflation, and the value of the coin's metal content was significantly higher than its face value. In fact, the metal content of the coin was worth around 10-15 times its face value, making it a sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
