Interesting fact
The 6 Pfennigs coin from the City of Hamm was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thirty Years War, which lasted from 1618 to 1648, had a significant impact on the coinage of many German states, including the City of Hamm. As a result, the 6 Pfennigs coin was minted with a unique design that reflects the political and economic climate of the time. The coin features a depiction of the city's patron saint, St. Boniface, on one side, and the coat of arms of the City of Hamm on the other. This design was meant to symbolize the city's resilience and determination during a time of great upheaval.
