Comment
Kennepohl# 448Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 12 Pfennigs coin from the City of Osnabrück is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Germany. The coin was issued during the reign of Duke Philipp Sigismund of Brunswick-Lüneburg, who ruled the city from 1599 to 1633. During this period, the city experienced significant growth and prosperity, and the coin was likely used for everyday transactions and trade. Despite its age, the coin remains a valuable collector's item and a piece of history that offers a glimpse into the economic and political climate of the time.
