Interesting fact
The 3 Pfennigs coin from the Free Imperial City of Mühlhausen (German States) made of Copper weighing 0.63g is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the Thirty Years War (1618-1648), a conflict that devastated much of Germany and disrupted trade and commerce. Despite these challenges, the Free Imperial City of Mühlhausen was able to maintain its independence and continue minting its own coins, like this 3 Pfennigs piece. This coin is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the people of Mühlhausen during a difficult period in history.
