Interesting fact

The 12 Heller coin from the City of Bocholt (German States) made of Copper is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thirty Years War had recently ended, and many German states were struggling to rebuild their economies. The City of Bocholt, in particular, was an important trading center and the production of coins like the 12 Heller was a significant part of its economy. Despite the challenges of the time, the coin remains a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the people of Bocholt and the surrounding region.
