A
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Pfennige coin from the Kingdom of Prussia (German States) is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Frederick III, who was the King of Prussia from 1804 to 1806. During this period, the Holy Roman Empire was dissolved, and the German States were in the process of forming their own confederation. The coin's mintage was likely a response to the growing need for a standardized currency across the German States.
