Interesting fact
The 4 Pfennigs 1690 coin from the City of Warendorf (German States) is interesting because it was minted 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 imperial eagle on the other. This coin is a rare example of a local currency that was used in a specific region during that time period. Additionally, the fact that it's made of copper and weighs 2.27 grams makes it a unique piece among other coins from the same era.
