Comment
The so-called "Neupfennig" is coined on one side. N stands for new; SM for city coin.This is a copper bowl coin. 100 of these were re-minted from the original stamp in 1895!
Interesting fact
The Denier Bracteate coin from the City of Schweinfurt (German States) made of Copper weighing 0.62 g is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued in 1622, a period marked by the Thirty Years' War, which had a profound impact on trade, commerce, and the economy of many German states, including Schweinfurt. Despite the challenges of this time, the coin still maintains its value and historical significance, making it a fascinating piece for collectors and historians.
