Interesting fact
The 3 Flitter coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, also known as the "Kipper" coin, was issued during a time of economic turmoil in the early 17th century. The coin was made of copper, which was a relatively cheap metal at the time, and was intended to be used as a small denomination coin for everyday transactions. Despite its low value, the coin features a detailed design, including an image of Frederick Ulrich, the ruler of the principality, on one side, and a shield with the principality's coat of arms on the other. The coin's design and material were meant to convey the idea that even small transactions were important and valued by the ruling family.
