Interesting fact

The 3 Pfennigs 1787 coin was part of a series of coins issued by the Cathedral chapter of Münster during the late 18th century. These coins were used to finance the construction of the Cathedral, which was completed in 1802. The coin features the coat of arms of the Cathedral chapter on one side and the value of 3 Pfennigs on the other. It's interesting to note that the coin was made of copper, which was a common material used for coinage during that time period.
