Interesting fact

The Dreier 1622 coin from the Bishopric of Halberstadt (German States) made of Silver is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thirty Years War had just begun, and the Holy Roman Empire was in disarray. Despite these challenges, the Bishopric of Halberstadt was able to maintain its independence and continue minting its own coins, like the Dreier 1622, which was used as a means of exchange and commerce in the region.
