Interesting fact
The 50 Pfennigs - Woldenberg (Brandenburg) ND coin from German notgeld (Germany) made of Iron weighing 4.3 g is a rare and valuable collector's item. It was minted during a time of economic crisis in Germany, known as the "Notgeld" period, when the government issued emergency currency made from materials like iron, copper, and zinc instead of the traditional silver or gold. The coin's design features the image of a castle, which represents the Woldenberg Castle in Brandenburg, Germany. The castle was built in the 14th century and has a rich history, having been used as a royal residence, a military base, and even a prison. Today, the castle is a popular tourist attraction and a symbol of German history and culture.
