Interesting fact
The 6 Pfennigs ND coin from the City of Werl (German States) made of Copper is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic change in Germany. The coin was issued in the mid-19th century, a period of rapid industrialization and urbanization in Germany, which led to a high demand for small denomination coins like the 6 Pfennigs. The use of copper in the coin's minting was also significant, as it was a common material for coinage during this time, but it was later replaced by more durable materials like nickel and cupro-nickel. This coin is a small but fascinating piece of history that highlights the economic and technological advancements of the time.
