Interesting fact

The 6 Pfennigs 1610 coin from the City of Ahlen (German States) made of Copper is interesting because it was issued during a time when the Holy Roman Empire was still in existence, and the City of Ahlen was a part of the Lower Rhenish-Westphalian Circle, a political entity that was formed in 1512 and lasted until 1806. This coin is a rare example of a local currency that was used in a specific region during that time period.
