Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the German States. The County of Ravensberg was part of the Holy Roman Empire, which was a powerful and influential political entity in Europe during the Middle Ages. However, in the late 16th century, the Empire was facing internal conflicts and external threats, including the Protestant Reformation and the rise of neighboring powers such as France and Spain. Despite these challenges, the County of Ravensberg continued to mint its own coins, including the 18 Heller coin featuring John William of Jülich-Kleve-Berg, demonstrating its independence and resilience during a time of great upheaval.
