Interesting fact
The 50 Pfennigs - Stendal ND coin was minted during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the 1920s. The coin's iron composition was a result of the country's lack of resources, particularly copper and silver, which were scarce during that time. Despite its low value, the coin remains a unique and interesting collector's item, offering a glimpse into Germany's economic history.
