Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 50 Pfennigs - Rodach 1918 coin is that it was issued during a time of great economic and political turmoil in Germany. The coin was minted in 1918, during the final year of World War I, and its production was likely impacted by the war effort. Additionally, the coin was issued by the City of Rodach, which was part of the Saxe-Coburg and Gotha district, a region that was heavily involved in the war. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a valuable piece of numismatic history.
