Interesting fact
The 3 Pfennigs coin from the City of Hamm was minted during a time when the city was part of the Holy Roman Empire, a political entity that spanned across Central Europe during the Middle Ages. The coin's design features the coat of arms of the city, which includes a hammer and anvil, symbolizing the city's reputation as a center of trade and industry. The coin's copper composition also reflects the importance of copper mining and smelting in the region during that time.
