Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 50 Pfennigs - Stendal ND (1917) coin is that it was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the early 1920s. The coin's value was worth 50 pfennigs, a significant amount at the time, but due to the inflation, its purchasing power was severely limited. Despite this, the coin remains a valuable collector's item today, with some mint conditions selling for hundreds of euros.
