Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 3 Pfennigs 1725-1739 from City of Soest (German States) made of Copper weighing 1.75g 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 a crowned eagle on one side and a shield with the city's coat of arms on the other, reflects the political and cultural influences of the time. Despite its small denomination, the coin was an important part of everyday commerce in the German States during the early 18th century.
