Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 50 Pfennigs - Ziegenrück 1918 coin is that it was issued during a time of great economic and political turmoil in Germany. The country was experiencing hyperinflation, with prices increasing by a factor of 100 trillion between 1914 and 1923. As a result, the value of the coin's 50 pfennig denomination was equivalent to only a fraction of a cent in today's currency. Despite this, the coin remains a valuable collector's item due to its historical significance and rarity.
