Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 50 Pfennigs - Oehringen 1917 coin is that it was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, known as the "Inflationary Period" (1914-1923), when the value of the German mark plummeted, and the prices of goods and services skyrocketed. As a result, the government was forced to produce coins with lower denominations, such as the 50 Pfennigs, to keep up with the increasing demand for small change. Despite being made of zinc, a relatively inexpensive metal, the coin still holds historical value and is sought after by collectors today.
