Interesting fact
The 50 Pfennigs - Strasburg Uckermark ND coin was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Germany. The coin was issued in 1922, just a few years after the end of World War I, which had a profound impact on the German economy. The country was experiencing hyperinflation, with prices increasing by a factor of 100 trillion (that's 100,000,000,000) between 1920 and 1923. This coin, made of iron and weighing 4.0 grams, was a response to the economic crisis, as the government sought to introduce a new currency that could help stabilize the economy. Despite the challenges of the time, the 50 Pfennigs - Strasburg Uckermark ND coin remains a fascinating piece of numismatic history.
