Interesting fact

The Denier Bracteate coin from the City of Hamelin (German States) made of Silver is interesting because it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was minted between 1622 and 1625, a period marked by the Thirty Years' War, which had a profound impact on the German states and the rest of Europe. Despite the challenges of this time, the coin remains a testament to the resilience and adaptability of the people of Hamelin and the surrounding region.
