Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 6 Pfennigs 1754-1756 from City of Dortmund (German States) made of Billon is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Frederick the Great, who was the King of Prussia from 1740 to 1786. During his reign, Prussia underwent significant economic and military reforms, which helped to establish the country as a major power in Europe. The coin's mintage was likely a response to the growing need for currency to support the expanding economy and trade in the region.
