Interesting fact
The 50 Pfennigs coin from Schauenstein (H. Heye Glasfabrik) 1921 is interesting because it was made of zinc, which was a unusual choice of material for coins at that time. Most coins were made of traditional metals like copper, silver, or gold, but the use of zinc in this case was likely due to its low cost and durability. This coin is a unique example of how the economic and political conditions of the time can influence the design and production of currency.
