Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 50 Pfennigs - Pinneberg 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. To combat this issue, the government issued coins with lower denominations, like the 50 Pfennigs, to help people purchase everyday items. Despite the economic challenges, the coin's design, featuring the Pinneberg city coat of arms, remains a symbol of the city's rich history and culture.
