Interesting fact
The 12 Pfennigs coin from the Bishopric of Osnabrück (German States) made of Copper in 1606 is interesting because it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin's minting was likely a response to the growing need for a standardized currency system in the region, as the Holy Roman Empire was dissolved and various German states began to assert their independence. The use of copper as the material for the coin was also significant, as it reflected the increasing importance of trade and commerce in the region and the need for a durable and widely available medium of exchange.
