Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 50 Pfennigs - Tübingen 1917 coin is that it was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, known as the "Inflationary Period" (1914-1923). During this time, the value of the German mark (the national currency) plummeted, and the prices of goods and services skyrocketed. As a result, many Germans turned to alternative forms of currency, such as local emergency currencies like the Tübingen 50 Pfennigs coin, which was issued by the City of Tübingen to help alleviate the economic crisis. Despite its small denomination, the coin is a valuable collector's item today, serving as a reminder of a challenging period in German history.
