Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 50 Pfennigs - Tannhausen (Meyer Kauffmann) 1921 coin from German notgeld (Germany) made of Porcelain (brown) weighing 3.1 g is that it was created during a time of economic crisis in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the 1920s. The coin was made of porcelain, which was a unusual material for coins at the time, and it was designed to be used as a substitute for the official German currency, the Reichsmark, which was devalued due to the inflation. This coin is a unique example of how people adapted to the economic situation and found ways to create alternative forms of currency during times of financial instability.
