Interesting fact
The 3 Pfennigs coin from the City of Hamm was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the German States. The coin was issued during the reign of Duke Johann Wilhelm II of Saxe-Eisenach, who ruled from 1662 to 1686. During his reign, the duchy experienced significant economic growth and cultural development, and the minting of coins like the 3 Pfennigs was an important part of this growth. Despite being made of copper, a relatively inexpensive metal, the coin was still considered a valuable form of currency at the time.
