Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 50 Pfennigs - Wasseralfingen 1917 coin is that it was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the 1920s. The coin's iron composition was a result of the wartime economy and the lack of available metals, and it was one of the few coins that were produced during this time that did not have a portrait of a German leader or a national symbol. Instead, it featured a simple design of a wavy line and the denomination. Despite its humble design, the coin is now a sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
