Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 3 Pfennigs 1720-1725 from City of Soest (German States) made of Copper weighing 1.2 g 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 William I of Prussia, who was known for his military conquests and his efforts to modernize and centralize the Prussian state. The coin's design, which features an image of a crowned eagle on one side and the number "3" on the other, reflects the influence of Prussian culture and politics on the city of Soest during this time. Despite its small denomination, this coin is a valuable piece of history that provides insight into the economic and political climate of early 18th-century Europe.
