Interesting fact
The 50 Pfennigs - Zwiesel 1920 coin from the City of Zwiesel in Bavaria, made of aluminum and weighing 1.84g, is interesting because it was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, known as the "Inflationary Period" (1914-1924), when the value of the German mark plummeted, and the use of foreign currencies like the US dollar became more common. Despite the economic challenges, the city of Zwiesel continued to produce its own local currency, like this coin, which features the city's coat of arms and a scenic view of the surrounding mountains.
