Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 50 Pfennigs - Trier ND (1917) coin is that it was minted during a time of economic and political turmoil in Germany. The coin was issued in 1917, during the midst of World War I, and its production was likely impacted by the war effort. The use of zinc as the material for the coin was likely a result of the wartime economy and the need for alternative materials due to the shortage of traditional metals. Additionally, the coin's design, which features a simple and utilitarian style, may have been a reflection of the austerity measures that were in place during this time. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a valuable piece of numismatic history, offering a glimpse into the economic and political climate of Germany during this period.
