Interesting fact
The 50 Pfennigs - Oedt (Girmes) ND coin was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Germany. The Prussian province of Rhine, where the coin was minted, was a region of significant industrial and commercial activity, and the coin's zinc composition reflects the growing use of this metal in coinage during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Despite its relatively low denomination, the coin is a fascinating piece of numismatic history, offering a glimpse into the economic and political landscape of pre-World War I Germany.
