If it's a "G" Mintmark from 1950 it is very valuable. That's a missprint because it was printed in 1949 and the 1950 was by error only. Could be worth about 500 Euros, it's the most sought after FRG-coin. You can google 50 Pfennig, bank deutscher länder. Nice find, congrats.

I doubt that you have a 1959 coin with Bank Deutscher Laender. Bank Deutscher Laender was only minted on coins from 1948 till 1949. that's the reason for the value of the (misprinted) 1950 BDL coin. Good find for sure. You did not even find many BDL coins here, most are in collections since a long time.
