Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 50 Pfennigs - Strehlen 1918 coin is that it was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the 1920s. The coin was made of iron, which was a cheaper alternative to traditional metals like copper or silver, and was used to alleviate the shortage of small denomination coins in circulation. Despite its low value, the coin is now considered a rare collector's item and can fetch high prices at auctions.
