Interesting fact
The 12 Pfennige Kipper coin from the City of Erfurt, made of copper in 1622, is interesting because it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in Germany. The Kipper era, which lasted from 1618 to 1623, was a period of inflation and currency devaluation, and the production of coins like this one was a response to the economic challenges of the time. Despite its relatively low value, this coin is a tangible reminder of the complex economic and political dynamics of early modern Europe.
