Interesting fact
The Dicken coin from the City of Schaffhausen, made of silver and weighing 8.80g, is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thirty Years War (1618-1648) had a significant impact on the region, and the coin's minting can be seen as a reflection of the city's efforts to maintain economic stability during this period. Additionally, the coin's design, featuring the image of a Saint and the city's coat of arms, highlights the importance of religion and civic pride in the region during the 17th century.
