Interesting fact

The 6 Pfennigs 1574 coin from the City of Warendorf (German States) made of Copper is interesting because it was issued during a time when the city was part of the Holy Roman Empire, and it features an image of the city's coat of arms on one side and the Holy Roman Emperor's image on the other. This coin is a rare example of a local currency issued during this time period and provides insight into the economic and political systems of the region during that era.
