Interesting fact

The 6 Pfennigs coin from County of Holstein-Schaumburg-Pinneberg (German States) made of Copper weighing 2.59 g is interesting because it was issued during the reign of Ernest III, who was the Count of Holstein-Schaumburg-Pinneberg from 1620 to 1635. This coin is a rare example of a coin issued during his reign, and its copper composition makes it stand out among other coins of the time, which were often made of silver or gold.
