Interesting fact

The 1 Dreier (Kipper) coin from the City of Göttingen (German States) made of Copper weighing 1.3g was minted during a time of economic turmoil in the early 17th century. The Kipper era, as it is known, was a period of rapid inflation and currency devaluation in Germany, which led to the production of many low-value coins like this one. Despite its low value, this coin is still a fascinating piece of history and a reminder of the economic challenges faced by Germany during that time.
