Interesting fact
The 1 Dreier 1622 coin was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the German States. The Thirty Years War had just begun, and the City of Hamelin was an important trading center and minting location. The coin's design features the city's coat of arms, which includes a depiction of a hammer and anvil, symbolizing the city's reputation for ironworking and craftsmanship. Despite the turmoil of the time, the coin's silver content and intricate design made it a highly valued form of currency, both within the German States and beyond.
