Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 6 Pfennigs - Damian Hartard of the Leyen (Zwitter Prägung) 1676 coin from the Archbishopric of Mainz (German States) made of Silver is that it features a unique "Zwitter Prägung" or "twin striking" technique, where the coin was struck twice, resulting in a double-sided design with the same image on both sides. This technique was used to create a more detailed and intricate design, and it adds an extra layer of rarity and collectibility to the coin.
