Interesting fact
The 4 Pfennigs (Kipper) coin from the City of Northeim (German States) made of Copper in 1621 is interesting because it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in Germany. The Kipper era, which lasted from 1618 to 1623, was a period of rapid inflation and currency devaluation, which led to the introduction of new coinage systems and denominations. The 4 Pfennigs coin was one of the new denominations introduced during this time, and it was made of copper, which was a more affordable and accessible metal than other metals used in coinage at the time. Despite its low denomination, the coin was still considered a significant amount of money during this period, and it played an important role in the everyday transactions of ordinary people.
