Interesting fact

The 4 Pfennigs 1616 coin from the City of Bocholt (German States) made of Copper is interesting because it was issued during a time when the Holy Roman Empire was still in existence, and it features the coat of arms of the city on one side and the emperor's portrait on the other. This coin was used as a means of payment in the city and its surrounding areas, and it is a rare example of a coin that has survived from that time period.
