Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 6 Pfennigs 1651 coin from the City of Dortmund is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thirty Years War had recently ended, and many German states, including Dortmund, were struggling to rebuild and reestablish their economies. Despite these challenges, the minting of this coin suggests that there was still a demand for small denomination coins for everyday transactions, and that the city of Dortmund was able to continue producing currency despite the turmoil of the time.
