Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 50 Pfennigs - Neustadt an der Aisch 1917 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 iron composition was a result of the wartime economy and the lack of available metals, and it was one of the few coins that were produced during this time that did not have a portrait of a German leader or a national symbol. Instead, it featured the image of a crowned eagle, which was a symbol of the city of Neustadt an der Aisch. Despite its humble appearance, this coin is now a sought-after collector's item among numismatists due to its historical significance and rarity.
