Interesting fact

The 4 Pfennigs coin from Hamm, issued in 1637, features a unique design element - a small shield with the city's coat of arms, which includes a hammer (a reference to the city's name) and a pair of crossed keys (symbolizing the city's connection to the Bishopric of Münster). This shield is placed above the coin's denomination, creating a distinctive and memorable visual identity for the coin.
