Comment
Minted in GundelfingenInteresting fact
The 4 Pfennigs - Wolfgang William (Kipper) 1622 coin from the Duchy of Palatinate-Neuburg (German States) is interesting because it was made during a time when copper coins were not commonly used in Germany. Instead, most coins were made of silver or gold. The use of copper for this coin was likely a result of a shortage of precious metals during the Thirty Years' War, which lasted from 1618 to 1648. This coin's unique composition makes it a standout among other coins from the same time period.
