Gerd Behr "Übersicht über die Münzen der Stadt Mühlhausen von 1523 bis 1767": (# 16)Interesting fact
The 1 Pfennig (Kipper) coin from the Free Imperial City of Mühlhausen (German States) made of Copper and weighing 0.35g is interesting because it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Kipper era, which lasted from 1618 to 1623, was a period of rapid inflation and currency devaluation in the Holy Roman Empire, and the production of coins like this one was a response to the economic pressures of the time. Despite its small denomination, this coin is a tangible reminder of the complex economic and political dynamics of early 17th-century Europe.
