Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Petermenger coin from the Archbishopric of Trier is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued in 1711, just a few years after the end of the Great Turkish War, which had disrupted trade routes and caused economic instability throughout the continent. Additionally, the coin was minted during the reign of Charles Joseph of Lothringen, who was a powerful and influential leader in the German States. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item, with its silver content and historical significance making it a unique piece of numismatic history.
