Interesting fact

The "Lilienpfennig" coin from the Free Imperial City of Donauwörth (German States) is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued in the late 17th century, a period of rapid urbanization and trade, and its silver content made it a valuable and sought-after currency. Additionally, the coin's design features a stylized lily, which was a symbol of purity and innocence, reflecting the cultural values of the time.
