Interesting fact
The Frederick Ulrich (Kipper) 3 Flitter coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel (German States) was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thirty Years War had just ended, and many German states were struggling to rebuild their economies. The Kipper era, which lasted from 1618 to 1625, was a time of rapid inflation and currency devaluation, which led to the minting of many low-value coins like the 3 Flitter. Despite its low value, this coin is still a fascinating piece of history and a reminder of the complex economic and political climate of 17th-century Europe.
