Interesting fact
The 1 Pfennig 1630 coin from the City of Magdeburg was made of silver, which was a common material used for coins during that time period. However, what makes this coin particularly interesting is that it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in the German States. The Thirty Years War had just ended in 1648, and the Holy Roman Empire was in the process of dissolving. This coin was issued as a way to help stabilize the economy and promote trade in the region. Despite the challenges of the time, the coin remains a valuable piece of history and a testament to the resilience of the people of Magdeburg.
