Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 50 Pfennigs - Neustadt a. Donau ND (1918) coin is that it was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the 1920s. The coin's value was equivalent to 50 pfennigs, which was a significant amount at the time, but due to the inflation, the coin's purchasing power decreased rapidly, making it nearly worthless by the end of the decade. Despite this, the coin remains a valuable collector's item today, serving as a reminder of Germany's economic history.
