Comment
Variant comparison:Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 50 Pfennigs - Mülheim an der Ruhr 1918 coin is that 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 dropped significantly due to the country's involvement in World War I and the subsequent economic crisis. As a result, many cities, including Mülheim an der Ruhr, issued their own emergency currency, like this coin, to address the shortage of small change caused by the devaluation of the mark.
