Comment
B mintmarks during the Nazi period indicated Vienna (Wien) following the Anschluß, not Hannover.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 50 Reichspfennig coin from Germany (1871-1948) is that it was made of aluminum, which was a unusual choice for coins at that time. Aluminum was not widely used in coinage until the mid-20th century, and it was often reserved for coins of low denomination or for emergency issues during times of war or economic crisis. The use of aluminum in the 50 Reichspfennig coin reflects the economic and material challenges faced by Germany during World War II, when traditional metals like copper and nickel were in short supply.
