Interesting fact

The 4 Pfennigs coin from the City of Coesfeld (German States) made of Copper 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 Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II, who ruled from 1576 to 1612. During his reign, the Holy Roman Empire was facing economic challenges, including inflation and debasement of the currency. The 4 Pfennigs coin was one of the lower denominations of the time and was widely used in trade and commerce. Despite its small value, the coin is a valuable piece of history, offering a glimpse into the economic and political climate of the time.
