Comment
Note: Kipper 3 Pfennig.Interesting fact
The 3 Pfennigs 1622 coin from the City of Kamenz (German States) is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thirty Years War had just ended in 1648, and many German states were struggling to rebuild their economies. The City of Kamenz, in particular, was an important trading center and minted its own coins to facilitate trade. The 3 Pfennigs coin was a common denomination at the time and was used for everyday transactions. Despite its small value, it is a rare and valuable collector's item today, with only a few examples known to exist in good condition.
