Comment
The city name on the coin can be either COSVELT or COSVELDT.Interesting fact
The 3 Pfennigs coin from the City of Coesfeld was minted during a time when the city was part of the Holy Roman Empire, a political entity that existed in Central Europe from the 10th to the 19th century. The coin's design features the coat of arms of the city, which includes a shield with three roses and a crown, symbolizing the city's connection to the Empire. The coin's copper composition also reflects the value placed on copper as a material for coinage during this time period.
