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 existed in Central Europe from the 10th to the 18th century. The coin's design features the coat of arms of the city, which includes a hammer, symbolizing the city's name and its history as a center of trade and commerce.
