Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 50 Pfennigs - Ohligs 1920 coin is that it was issued during a time of hyperinflation in Germany, specifically during the 1920s. This coin, made of iron and weighing 3.4 grams, was a significant change from the previous coinage system, which was made of gold and silver. The introduction of this new coinage system was an attempt to stabilize the German economy and combat the rising inflation. Despite the efforts, the inflation continued to rise, and the coin lost its value quickly. Today, this coin is a rare collector's item and a reminder of a challenging period in German history.
