Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 6 Pfenning coin from the City of Rostock (German States) made of Copper and weighing 4.2g is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Frederick the Great, who was the King of Prussia from 1740 to 1786. During his reign, Prussia became a major military and economic power, and the coinage of the time reflects the growth and prosperity of the region. The 6 Pfenning coin, in particular, was an important denomination for trade and commerce, and its design and mintage were overseen by the Prussian government to ensure its authenticity and value. Despite being over 250 years old, this coin remains a valuable and fascinating piece of numismatic history.
