Interesting fact
The 50 Pfennigs coin from Pössneck (Saxe-Meiningen) is interesting because it was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, known as the "Inflationary Period" (1914-1924), when the value of the German mark dropped significantly due to the country's involvement in World War I and the subsequent economic crisis. As a result, many different types of coins were issued during this time, including the 50 Pfennigs coin made of iron, which was a cheaper alternative to traditional metals like silver or gold. This coin is a tangible reminder of the economic challenges faced by Germany during this time period.
