Interesting fact
The Minden Siege Coinage, which includes the 1 Matthier coin, is a rare and unique series of coins that were produced during a time of great turmoil and scarcity. The city of Minden was under siege by Swedish forces during the Thirty Years' War, and the local mint was forced to produce coins using whatever materials were available, including copper, silver, and even tin. This makes the coins particularly valuable to collectors and historians, as they provide a glimpse into the economic and political conditions of the time. Additionally, the 1 Matthier coin features an interesting design, with a crowned shield on one side and a cipher on the other, making it a fascinating piece of numismatic history.
