Interesting fact
The 6 Pfennigs 1636 coin from the City of Herford (German States) made of Copper is interesting because it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thirty Years War had recently ended, and many German states were struggling to rebuild their economies. The City of Herford, in particular, was an important trading center and the coin was likely used extensively in local commerce. Despite being made of copper, a relatively common metal at the time, the coin's design and minting process were still carefully regulated by the city's authorities to ensure its authenticity and value. Today, this coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, providing a unique glimpse into the economic and cultural history of 17th-century Europe.
