Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 4 Stüber 1659-1660 from City of Dortmund (German States) made of Silver is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Prince-Elector Ferdinand III of Brandenburg, who was a key figure in the Holy Roman Empire and played a significant role in the Thirty Years' War. The coin's design, which features the coat of arms of the City of Dortmund on one side and the image of a lion on the other, reflects the city's rich history and cultural heritage. Despite being minted over 350 years ago, this coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
