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 Wipperzeit" which was a way of minting coins that involved cutting the dies by hand, resulting in each coin having a unique and slightly different design. This technique was used during a time of economic hardship and was meant to increase the speed and efficiency of coin production.
