Comment
Meyer 108Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1/16 Thaler coin from the City of Dortmund (German States) made of Silver is that it was used as a form of currency during a time when the city was an important trading center in the Hanseatic League, a powerful mercantile and cultural organization that dominated trade in the Baltic Sea region during the Middle Ages. The coin's design, which features the city's coat of arms and other symbols, reflects the city's pride in its economic and cultural status during this period.
