Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 50 Pfennigs - Strehlen 1918 coin is that it was issued during a time of economic and political turmoil in Germany. The coin was minted in 1918, during the final year of World War I, and its iron composition was a result of the wartime shortage of other metals. The coin's design, featuring the image of a crowned eagle and the value "50 Pfennigs," was standard for German coins of the time, but its iron composition made it stand out from other coins in circulation. Despite its humble appearance, the 50 Pfennigs - Strehlen 1918 coin is a unique piece of history that reflects the challenges and adaptations of a nation during a time of war.
