Interesting fact
The 50 Pfennigs - Wurzach 1918 coin from the City of Wurzach (Federal state of Württemberg) made of Zinc weighing 2.4 g is interesting because it was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, known as the "Inflationary Period" (1914-1923), when the value of the German mark dropped significantly, and the prices of goods and services skyrocketed. As a result, the government was forced to produce smaller denomination coins, like the 50 Pfennigs, to keep up with the increasing demand for small change. This coin, in particular, was minted in 1918, a year that saw a significant increase in inflation, and its production was a response to the growing need for smaller denomination coins in circulation.
