Germany 50 pfennig 1921, A (Berlin) mintmark, made of aluminium. This coin type was issued between the end of the First World War and the beginning of severe hyperinflation in 1922.

The motto on the other side appears to read "Gich regen bringt Gegen". But if you type that into BabelFish or some other translation site, it'll come back untranslatable. That's because those capital Gs are really fancy capital Ss. "Sich regen bringt Segen" literally means "by itself, work brings blessings", but best translates to "hard work brings it's own reward". It is an old German proverb, and was used as a motto by the Weimar Republic.
Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis

On Joel's Coins you can see the progression/deterioration of the mark.

Your 50pf is in the 1921 slot, and could have bought 2 eggs!
