Interesting fact
The 1 Sechsling coin from the City of Stade (German States) made of Silver weighing 0.53 g is interesting because it was minted during a time when the German States were still using a variety of different currencies, and this coin was one of the few standardized coins that were widely accepted across the region. This coin was also minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe, and its production was likely influenced by the ongoing Thirty Years War. Despite its small size and relatively low value, this coin is a valuable piece of history that provides insight into the economic and political climate of the time.
