Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 50 Pfennigs - Werne a. d. Lippe 1921 coin is that it was made of iron, which was a unusual material for coins at that time, as most coins were made of gold, silver, or copper. The use of iron in the production of this coin reflects the economic and political circumstances of the time, as Germany was experiencing hyperinflation and there was a shortage of more traditional coinage metals. The iron used in the production of this coin was likely sourced locally from the Ruhr Valley, which was a major industrial region in Germany known for its iron and steel production. This coin is a unique example of how currency can be shaped by historical events and economic conditions.
