Comment
Meyer 55Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Stüber coin from the City of Dortmund is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Germany. The coin was issued during the reign of Emperor Maximilian I, who was instrumental in establishing the Holy Roman Empire and standardizing coinage across the German states. The ¼ Stüber coin was one of the first standardized coins to be issued during this period, and it played an important role in facilitating trade and commerce across the region.
