different designed rim at the opposite side:Interesting fact
The 3 Pfennige coin from the Principality of Waldeck-Pyrmont (German States) made of Copper and weighing 3.23g is interesting because it was minted during a time of great change in Germany. In the early 19th century, the German states were in the process of forming a unified nation, and this coin was minted during that transition. It is a tangible reminder of the complex history of Germany and the efforts of its people to come together as a single nation.
