Interesting fact
The 12 Pfennigs 1622 coin from the City of Beckum (German States) made of Copper is interesting because it was issued during a time when the German States were still using a variety of different currencies, and this coin was one of the first standardized coins issued in the region. This coin was part of a series of coins issued by the City of Beckum that were designed to be used as a standardized form of currency across the German States, and it features a simple design with the coat of arms of the city on one side and the denomination on the other. This coin is a rare example of early standardized currency and is highly sought after by collectors today.
