Comment
Slg. Behr 144 Leitzmann 430Interesting fact
The 1 Dreier coin from the City of Erfurt was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Holy Roman Emperor Charles V, who was trying to standardize coinage across the German states. The Dreier was a new denomination introduced by Charles V, and it was meant to be equal to 3 Pfennig. This coin was made of silver and had a unique design, featuring the coat of arms of the City of Erfurt on one side and the imperial eagle on the other. Despite its interesting history, the 1 Dreier coin is relatively rare and valuable today, with some mint conditions selling for thousands of dollars.
