Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 50 Pfennigs - Soldin ND (1919) 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 iron coin was introduced as a substitute for the paper mark, which had become essentially worthless. This coin, made of iron, was one of the few coins that maintained its value during that time, and it became a symbol of stability and hope for the German people.
