Interesting fact
The Frederick Ulrich (Kipper) 1621 3 Flitter coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel (German States) was made of copper, but it was also one of the first coins to use a unique technique called "Kipper und Wipper" to create a unique design. This technique involved stamping the coin with a series of small, irregularly-shaped symbols that were arranged in a specific pattern to create the image of a tree. This unique design feature made the coin easily recognizable and helped to prevent counterfeiting.
