Interesting fact
The 50 Pfennigs - Niederramstadt (Wacker and Doerr) 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 substitute for the official German currency, the Reichsmark. The coin's design features the image of a woman holding a shield with the town's coat of arms, symbolizing the town's resilience and determination during difficult times.
