Interesting fact

The 6 Pfennigs coin from Dülmen is notable for its unique design, which features a depiction of a horse on the obverse (front) side, and a shield with the city's coat of arms on the reverse (back) side. The horse was a symbol of strength and prosperity in the region, and the shield with the coat of arms represented the city's independence and sovereignty.
