Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 3 Pfennigs 1653-1693 (1653-1700) from City of Wiedenbrück (German States) made of Copper is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Germany. The Thirty Years War had recently ended, and the country was in the process of rebuilding and recovering. The coinage of this time period reflects the economic and political shifts, with the 3 Pfennigs coin being a common denomination used in everyday transactions. Additionally, the use of copper as the material for the coin was a deliberate choice, as it was a more affordable and accessible metal than other options, such as silver or gold. This coin is a tangible reminder of the economic and political climate of 17th century Germany and serves as a window into the past for historians and collectors alike.
