Interesting fact

The 3 Pfennigs coin from the City of Soest (German States) made of Copper and weighing 1.62g is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Frederick William I of Prussia, who was known for his military conquests and his efforts to modernize and centralize the Prussian state. The coin's design, featuring a simple image of a crowned eagle, reflects the influence of the Prussian Empire's symbolism and highlights the coin's connection to the larger political and economic shifts taking place in Europe during this time.
