Medieval hammered cobber penning of Eric of Pommerania.Interesting fact
The Kobbersterling coin was used as a means of payment in Denmark during the reign of King Erik of Pomerania (1397-1439). It was made of copper and weighed 0.8 grams, which was a significant amount for a coin at that time. Despite its small size, the coin was widely accepted and used in trade, reflecting the strong economy and trade networks of Denmark during the Middle Ages.
