Interesting fact
The 4 Pfennigs coin from the City of Hamm is a rare and valuable coin among collectors due to its age and historical significance. It was minted during a time when the German States were still individual territories, and the coin's design and materials reflect the economic and political conditions of that era. The fact that it's made of copper, a relatively inexpensive metal at the time, suggests that it was intended for everyday use by common people, rather than being a high-denomination coin for the wealthy elite. Despite its age, many of these coins have survived to this day and are highly sought after by collectors and historians.
