Interesting fact

The 3 Pfennigs coin from the City of Stralsund (German States) made of Copper weighing 1.06 g is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued in the early 17th century, a period marked by the Thirty Years' War, which had a profound impact on the German states and their economies. Despite the challenges of this time, the City of Stralsund was able to maintain its independence and prosperity, and the coin is a testament to the city's resilience and economic strength.
