Interesting fact
The 3 Pfennigs coin from the City of Hamm was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thirty Years War had recently ended, and many German states were struggling to rebuild their economies. The City of Hamm, in particular, was an important trading center and the coin was likely used extensively in local commerce. Despite being made of copper, a relatively inexpensive metal, the coin was still a valuable asset for merchants and traders in the region.
