Interesting fact
The 3 Schillings 1613 coin from the City of Warendorf (German States) made of Copper is interesting because it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thirty Years War had just begun, and the Holy Roman Empire was in the process of dissolving, leading to a period of decentralization and the rise of independent city-states. The coin's design, featuring the city's coat of arms and a crowned shield, reflects the political and economic changes taking place during this time. Additionally, the use of copper as the material for the coin was a common practice during this period, as it was a readily available and affordable metal.
