| Beschrijving voorzijde | The Rostock civic griffin passant, displayed in high relief, faces left in a rampant stance atop a raised rectangular plinth. The creature is depicted with prominent spread wings, powerful forelegs raised, and a curled tail, rendered in a bold Baroque style characteristic of 18th-century German municipal coinage. A double horizontal rule separates the plinth from the legend below. The abbreviated city name appears in the exergue as the Latin inscription ROST. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Rostock's 6 Pfennig copper issue of 1761–62 falls squarely within the Seven Years' War, a conflict that disrupted trade routes across the Baltic and strained municipal finances throughout the Hanseatic towns. Local coinage of this type was often a pragmatic stopgap — Rostock retained its minting rights as a free imperial city, and small copper denominations were struck to keep commerce moving when silver was being absorbed by war expenditure.
The two-year span of this issue likely reflects a single contracted minting run rather than continuous production.
