Comment
another example;Interesting fact
The 1 Pfennig 1798 coin from the City of Rostock (German States) is interesting because it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was minted in the late 18th century, a period of Enlightenment and Revolution, and it reflects the economic and political shifts that were taking place in Germany during that time. The coin's design, which features a simple image of a crowned shield with the number "1" inside, is a testament to the coin's use as a standard circulation coin, and its copper composition was a common material used for coinage during this period. Despite its age, this coin remains a valuable piece of numismatic history, offering a glimpse into the economic and political climate of 18th century Europe.
