Interesting fact

The 50 Pfennigs coin from Neustadt an der Aisch, issued in 1917, features a unique design that sets it apart from other coins of its time. The obverse side of the coin depicts a stylized image of a horse, while the reverse side features the denomination and the city's coat of arms. This coin is particularly interesting because it was produced during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, following World War I, and its design reflects the country's efforts to rebuild and recover. Additionally, the use of zinc as the material for the coin was a common practice during this period, as other metals were scarce or too expensive to use for coinage.
