附加信息

Historical Context: This 50 Pfennig piece, issued by the City of Dortmund in 1917, exemplifies German Notgeld during World War I. Wartime exigencies caused severe shortages of conventional coinage metals, compelling municipalities to issue emergency currency. Dortmund, a major industrial center, utilized readily available zinc to sustain local commerce and public confidence amidst economic instability.
