Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 50 Pfennigs - Ruppersdorf (Chamottefabrik) ND coin from German notgeld (Germany) made of Zinc weighing 3.9 g is that it was produced during a time of economic crisis in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the 1920s. The coin was issued as a temporary solution to address the shortage of small denomination coins, and it was only valid in certain regions of Germany. Its unique design and limited circulation make it a sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
