Interesting fact

The 3 Flitter coin from the City of Einbeck (German States) made of Copper is interesting because it was issued during a time of economic turmoil in the early 17th century, known as the "Kipper" period. During this time, many German cities and states issued their own coins to address a shortage of small denomination coins, leading to a diverse array of coin designs and materials being used. The 3 Flitter coin, made of copper, is a unique example of this era's coinage and a testament to the resourcefulness and adaptability of the people of Einbeck during a time of economic challenge.
