Comment
Were issued in 1921 as an advertising savings mark by the savings bank.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 50 Pfennigs - Münsterberg ND (1921) coin is that it was issued during a time of hyperinflation in Germany, specifically in the Prussian province of Silesia. The coin was made of aluminum, which was a relatively new material for coins at the time, and it weighed only 1.2 grams, making it one of the lightest coins in circulation. Despite its low value and humble materials, the coin remains a sought-after collector's item today, a testament to the enduring interest in numismatics and the history of currency.
