Comment
The city name on the coin can be either COSVELT or COSVELDT.Interesting fact
The 12 Pfennigs coin from the City of Coesfeld (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, which lasted from 1618 to 1648, had a profound impact on the German States, including the City of Coesfeld. Despite the challenges of this period, the city continued to mint coins, such as the 12 Pfennigs coin, which were used for everyday transactions. This coin is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the people of Coesfeld during a time of great upheaval.
