Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 50 Pfennigs - Rodach (Max Roesler A.G.) ND coin is that it was made of zinc, which is a relatively rare metal for coins. Most coins are made of copper, nickel, or silver, but zinc has been used in some cases as a more affordable and durable alternative. The use of zinc in coins can be beneficial because it is resistant to corrosion and has a longer lifespan than other metals. However, it is also a less valuable metal, which can affect the coin's value and authenticity.
