Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 50 Pfennigs - Pirmasens 1919 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 was rapidly decreasing. As a result, many different types of coins were issued with varying denominations and compositions, like this iron 50 Pfennigs coin, to try to stabilize the economy.
