Interesting fact
The 4½ Pfennig coin from County of Bentheim-Tecklenburg-Rheda (German States) made of Silver weighing 0.99 g is interesting because it is a rare example of a coin that was issued during a time of great economic and political change in Germany. The coin was minted in 1674, during the reign of Moritz, Count of Bentheim-Tecklenburg-Rheda, who ruled the county from 1674 to 1710. This was a time of great upheaval in Germany, with the Thirty Years' War having recently ended and the country still recovering from the devastation it caused. Despite these challenges, the county of Bentheim-Tecklenburg-Rheda was able to issue this coin, which is a testament to the resourcefulness and resilience of the people who lived there.
