Interesting fact
The 12 Pfennigs 1602 coin from the City of Werne (German States) is interesting because it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was minted in the early 17th century, a period marked by the Thirty Years' War, which had a profound impact on the German states and their economy. Despite the challenges of this time, the City of Werne was able to issue its own coins, such as this 12 Pfennigs coin, which was made of copper and weighed 5.49 grams. This fact highlights the resilience and resourcefulness of the people of Werne during a difficult period in history.
