Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern 50 Pfennigs coin from the City of Ahlen is that it was minted during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the 1920s. The coin's value was originally intended to be 50 pfennigs, but due to the rapid inflation, its value quickly became worthless. Despite this, the coin remains a valuable collector's item today, with some mint conditions selling for thousands of dollars.
