Comment
Meyer 59Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Albus coin from the City of Dortmund is that it was minted during a time of great economic and cultural growth in the region. The 15th century saw the rise of trade and commerce in the German States, and the City of Dortmund was a major hub for the Hanseatic League, a powerful trading federation that spanned across Northern Europe. The coin's silver content and intricate design reflect the wealth and prosperity of the time, and its minting can be seen as a testament to the city's economic and cultural significance during this period.
