Interesting fact
The 3 Pfennigs 1610 coin from the City of Ahlen (German States) made of Copper is interesting because it was issued during a time when the Holy Roman Empire was still in existence, and the City of Ahlen was a part of it. The coin features the image of a lion on one side and the inscription "CIVITAS AHLEN" on the other, indicating the city's pride in its independence and sovereignty. Despite being made of copper, the coin was still considered a low-denomination coin and was likely used in everyday transactions. Today, this coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, providing a glimpse into the economic and political history of the region during that time.
