Comment
Bratring 20Interesting fact
The 1 Pfennig 1607 coin from the City of Stralsund (German States) is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of King Christian IV of Denmark, who was also the Duke of Holstein, a region that included Stralsund. At this time, the Holy Roman Empire was dissolving, and the Protestant Reformation was underway, leading to a shift in power dynamics and trade routes. Despite these changes, the City of Stralsund continued to thrive as a major trading center, and its coins like this 1 Pfennig piece played an important role in facilitating commerce.
