Comment
Meyer 74Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Stüber coin from the City of Dortmund (German States) made of Silver weighing 1.52g is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand I, who was instrumental in establishing the Holy Roman Empire's currency, the Reichsthaler, as the standard currency across the German states. The 1 Stüber coin was a subunit of the Reichsthaler and was used for everyday transactions. Despite its small denomination, the coin was made of silver, which gave it a high intrinsic value and made it a popular medium of exchange.
