Comment
Meyer 51Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Stüber coin from the City of Dortmund is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Holy Roman Emperor Frederick III, who ruled from 1452 to 1493. During this period, the German States were facing economic challenges, including inflation and debasement of the currency. Despite these challenges, the ½ Stüber coin remained a stable and widely used denomination, reflecting the importance of trade and commerce in the region.
