Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 50 Pfennigs - Waiblingen 1918 coin is that it was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, known as the "Inflationary Period" (1914-1923), when the value of the German mark plummeted, and the prices of goods and services skyrocketed. As a result, the government was forced to issue new coins with lower denominations, such as the 50 Pfennigs, to keep up with the rapidly increasing prices. Despite being made of iron and having a relatively low value, this coin is a rare and valuable collector's item today, given its historical significance and the fact that many of these coins were melted down for their metal content during the war.
