Comment
Some coins have the countermark of Brabeck in the form of 3 wolftraps at the bottom of the reverse.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 6 Pfennigs coin from the Cathedral chapter of Münster (German States) made of Copper weighing 2.36g is that it was minted during a time of great religious and political upheaval in Europe. The Thirty Years War, which lasted from 1618 to 1648, had a profound impact on the German States, including the Cathedral chapter of Münster, which was a significant religious and political center at the time. Despite the turmoil, the coinage of the period remained consistent, with coins like the 6 Pfennigs coin serving as a symbol of stability and continuity in the face of adversity.
