Interesting fact

The 50 Pfennigs - Neurath (Gewerkschaft) ND coin from German notgeld (Germany) made of Zinc weighing 3.1 g is a rare and valuable coin among collectors due to its historical significance and limited mintage. It was issued during a time of economic crisis in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the 1920s, and was used as a form of emergency currency. The coin's design features the image of a man standing in front of a factory, symbolizing the working class and the importance of industry during that time.
