Interesting fact

The ¼ Stüber coin from East Frisia, minted during the reign of Frederick II (1753-1754), was made of copper and weighed 3.15 grams. Despite its small size and relatively low value, this coin was an important part of the local currency system in East Frisia during that time. In fact, it was one of the most widely used coins in the region, and its design and mintage were closely monitored by the authorities to ensure its authenticity and value. Today, this coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, highly sought after by numismatists and historians interested in the currency and history of the region.
