Interesting fact
The 50 Pfennigs - Zirndorf 1917 coin was minted during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, known as the "Inflationary Period" (1914-1923), when the value of the German mark dropped significantly due to the country's involvement in World War I and the subsequent economic crisis. As a result, the coin's value was worth much less than its face value, and it was eventually taken out of circulation. Today, it is considered a rare and collectible item, and its value has increased significantly due to its historical significance and rarity.
