Interesting fact
The 50 Pfennigs coin from Sonneberg, Thuringia, Germany, 1921, is interesting because it was minted during a time of hyperinflation in Germany, where the value of the German Mark dropped significantly, and many cities, like Sonneberg, issued their own emergency currency, like this coin, to combat the inflation.
