Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 50 Pfennigs coin from Neumarkt i.d.Opf. 1921 is that it was made of iron, which was a unusual choice of material for coins at that time, as most coins were made of gold, silver, or copper. The use of iron in coinage was a result of the economic and political conditions of the time, as Germany was experiencing hyperinflation and there was a shortage of precious metals. The iron coinage was introduced as an emergency measure to address the shortage of small change, and it was only used for a brief period before being replaced by coins made of more traditional materials.
