Interesting fact
The 4 Pfennigs coin from the City of Goslar (German States) made of Billon weighing 0.67 g is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Frederick the Great, who was the King of Prussia from 1740 to 1786. During his reign, Prussia became a major military and economic power, and the coinage of the time reflects the growth and prosperity of the region. The 4 Pfennigs coin was a standard circulation coin, indicating that it was widely used in everyday transactions, and its design and composition were standardized across the German States. Despite its small denomination, the coin is a valuable piece of history that provides insight into the economic and political climate of 18th-century Europe.
