Interesting fact
The 50 Pfennigs coin from Schmalkalden (Prussian province of Hesse-Nassau) made of Zinc weighing 2.6 g is interesting because it was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the 1920s. The coin's value was worth 50 Pfennigs when it was first issued, but due to the rapid inflation, its value decreased significantly over time, making it a unique collector's item.
