Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 12 Pfennigs coin from the Cathedral chapter of Münster (German States) made of Copper is that it was minted during a time of great religious and political upheaval in Europe. The Thirty Years War, which lasted from 1618 to 1648, had a profound impact on the region and the coinage of the time. Despite the turmoil, the production of coins continued, and the 12 Pfennigs coin remains a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the people of Münster during this period.
