Comment
Were issued in 1921 as an advertising savings mark by the savings bank.Interesting fact
The 50 Pfennigs Münsterberg ND (1921) coin was issued during a time of hyperinflation in Germany, specifically in the Prussian province of Silesia. In 1921, the value of the German mark had dropped significantly, and the government was forced to issue new coins with higher denominations to keep up with the inflation. The 50 Pfennigs coin was one of these new coins, and it was made of aluminum, which was a relatively new material for coins at the time. Despite its low value, the coin is now a rare and sought-after collector's item, especially among numismatists who specialize in German coins.
