Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 6 Pfenning coin from the City of Dortmund is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Duke Frederick III of Brandenburg, who was a key figure in the development of the German states and the Holy Roman Empire. The coin's silver content and relatively low denomination made it a widely used and accessible form of currency for everyday transactions, and its mintage during this time period speaks to the growing economic importance of the City of Dortmund and the surrounding region.
