Comment
Weinm.299 Var., Lange 938 Var.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Kreuzers - Ernest III (Kipper) ND (1620) coin from County of Holstein-Schaumburg-Pinneberg (German States) is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thirty Years War had just begun, and the Holy Roman Empire was in the process of dissolving, leading to a period of political instability and economic upheaval. Despite these challenges, the County of Holstein-Schaumburg-Pinneberg was able to maintain its independence and issue its own coins, such as this 3 Kreuzers coin, which was made of silver and weighed 0.87 grams. This coin is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the people of Holstein-Schaumburg-Pinneberg during a time of great uncertainty.
