Comment
Kirchstapel (Lienen) mintInteresting fact
The 1/16 Thaler coin from the County of Bentheim-Tecklenburg-Rheda (German States) made of Silver is interesting because it was minted during a time when the region was experiencing significant political and economic changes. The coin was minted in 1677, during the reign of John Adolph, who was the Count of Bentheim-Tecklenburg-Rheda from 1674 to 1704. This was a time of great turmoil in Europe, with the Thirty Years War having recently ended and the Holy Roman Empire in decline. Despite these challenges, the County of Bentheim-Tecklenburg-Rheda was able to maintain its independence and prosperity, and the minting of this coin is a testament to the region's economic resilience and stability during this time.
