Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the "Vierzipfliger Pfennig" coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe, particularly in the Holy Roman Empire. The coin's issuance coincided with the rise of the Hanseatic League, a powerful trading federation that dominated trade in the Baltic Sea and much of Northern Europe during the 13th to 17th centuries. The League's influence on trade and commerce likely contributed to the coin's widespread use and circulation throughout the region.
