Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ¼ Stüber coin from the City of Dortmund (German States) made of Copper is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Frederick the Great, who was the King of Prussia from 1740 to 1786. During his reign, Prussia underwent significant economic and military reforms, which helped to establish the country as a major power in Europe. The ¼ Stüber coin was likely used in everyday transactions during this time, and its design and value would have been closely regulated by the government to ensure that it was a reliable and trustworthy form of currency.
