Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 50 Pfennigs - Schauenstein (H. Heye Glasfabrik) 1918 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 plummeted, and the prices of goods and services skyrocketed. As a result, the government was forced to issue new coins with lower denominations, such as the 50 Pfennigs coin, to keep up with the rapidly increasing prices.
