Interesting fact
The 3 Pfennigs coin from the Cathedral chapter of Münster was minted during a time of great religious and political upheaval in Europe. The coin was issued during the Thirty Years War (1618-1648), a conflict that devastated much of Germany and other parts of Europe. Despite the turmoil, the coin remained a stable currency and was widely used throughout the region. Its copper content also made it a valuable commodity, as copper was in high demand for various industrial and military purposes.
