Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 50 Pfennigs - Schönwald 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 was rapidly decreasing. As a result, many different types of coins were issued with varying denominations and compositions, including this particular coin made of iron. This coin is a rare example of a local currency issued by a municipality during this time, and its design features the Schönwald castle, which is a popular tourist attraction in the region.
