Interesting fact

The 4 Pfennigs 1763 coin from the City of Coesfeld (German States) made of Copper is interesting because it was issued during a time when the German States were still using a variety of different currencies, and this coin was one of the first standardized coins introduced by the Reichsmünzordnung (Imperial Coinage Ordinance) in 1763. This coin was minted in several cities across the German States, and its standardized design and denomination helped to simplify trade and commerce across the region.
