Interesting fact
The 3 Pfennigs 1636 coin from the City of Herford (German States) made of Copper is a rare and valuable coin among collectors due to its historical significance and the limited number of coins minted. It was issued during the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648), a devastating conflict that ravaged much of Europe, and its minting was likely a response to the need for currency to fund military expenses. As a result, the coin is considered a tangible piece of history from a tumultuous period in European politics and warfare.
