Interesting fact
The 12 Pfennigs coin from the City of Ahlen (German States) made of Copper is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Germany. The coin was issued during the Thirty Years War (1618-1648), a conflict that devastated much of Europe and had a profound impact on the German states. Despite the challenges of this period, the City of Ahlen was able to maintain its independence and continue minting its own coins, such as this 12 Pfennigs piece. This fact highlights the resilience and resourcefulness of the people of Ahlen during a time of great turmoil.
