Interesting fact
The 3 Pfennigs 1620 coin from the City of Telgte (German States) made of Lead is interesting because it was issued during a time when lead coins were not commonly used in Germany. In fact, most coins during this period were made of silver or gold. The use of lead in this coin may indicate that it was intended for everyday transactions, as lead was a less valuable material than precious metals. Additionally, the fact that it was issued in a standard circulation denomination of 3 Pfennigs suggests that it was widely used in commerce.
