Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during a time of economic crisis in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the 1920s. The coin's low denomination of 50 pfennigs and its made of aluminum, which was a relatively cheap metal at the time, reflects the economic challenges faced by the country during this period. Despite its low value, the coin remains a valuable collector's item today, with some mint conditions selling for hundreds of euros.
