Comment
Previously C#9Interesting fact
The 3 Pfennigs 1761 coin from the City of Rostock (German States) is interesting because it was issued during a time when the city was an important member of the Hanseatic League, a powerful trading confederation that dominated trade in the Baltic Sea region for centuries. The coin's design, featuring the city's coat of arms and a crowned shield, reflects the city's pride in its membership in the League and its status as a major economic power.
