Comment
Slg.Knyph. 6292Interesting fact
The 6 Stüber coin from the City of Emden (German States) made of Silver is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Emperor Leopold I, who ruled the Holy Roman Empire from 1658 to 1705. During this period, the Empire was facing economic challenges, including inflation and debasement of the currency, which led to the introduction of new coinage systems. The 6 Stüber coin was part of this new system and was minted in several German cities, including Emden. Despite the challenges of the time, the coin remains a valuable piece of numismatic history, providing insight into the economic and political climate of 17th-century Europe.
