Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 50 Pfennigs - Zaborze ND (1917) coin is that it was issued during a time of great economic and political turmoil in Germany. The coin was minted in 1917, during the midst of World War I, and its production was likely a response to the wartime economic crisis that had led to a shortage of small denomination coins. The use of zinc as the material for the coin was also likely a result of the war effort, as other metals like copper and nickel were being diverted for military use. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a valuable collector's item and a piece of history from a tumultuous period in German history.
