Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Pfennigs coin from the City of Rostock (German States) made of Copper weighing 2.9g is that 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 territorial expansion. This coin was likely used in everyday transactions and could have been handled by people from all walks of life, from merchants to farmers to artisans. Despite its small denomination, it remains a valuable piece of history for collectors and historians today.
