Comment
Menzel: BBBInteresting fact
The 50 Pfennigs - Wilh. Köppe ND coin from German notgeld (Germany) made of Zinc weighing 3.8 g is a rare and valuable coin among collectors due to its historical significance and limited mintage. It was issued during a time of economic crisis in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the 1920s, when the value of the German mark plummeted, and the government had to issue new currency to keep up with the inflation. The coin's design features the image of a woman, symbolizing the German people, and its rarity and historical significance make it a highly sought-after collector's item.
