Interesting fact

The 28 Stuber coin from the City of Emden (German States) is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was minted between 1624 and 1637, a period known as the Thirty Years War, which was a religious conflict that devastated much of Germany and surrounding regions. Despite the turmoil, the City of Emden continued to mint coins, such as the 28 Stuber, which were used for trade and commerce. This coin's existence serves as a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the people of Emden during a time of great upheaval.
