Interesting fact
The 3 Pfennigs 1624 coin from the City of Haltern (German States) is interesting because it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thirty Years War had recently ended, and many German states were struggling to rebuild their economies. The City of Haltern, in particular, was an important trading center and the coin was likely used extensively in local commerce. Despite its small denomination, the coin was made of copper, which was a valuable resource at the time. Today, this coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, providing a unique glimpse into the economic and social history of 17th-century Europe.
