Comment
Varieties exist.Interesting fact
The 6 Pfennigs coin from the City of Coesfeld (German States) made of Copper is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the Thirty Years War (1618-1648), a conflict that devastated much of Germany and disrupted trade and commerce. Despite these challenges, the City of Coesfeld was able to maintain its independence and continue minting its own coins, including this 6 Pfennigs piece. The coin's design, featuring the city's coat of arms and other symbols, reflects the city's pride and resilience during this tumultuous period.
