Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Pfennigs coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of August William, who was the Duke of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel from 1713 to 1718. During this period, the Holy Roman Empire was dissolved, and many German states, including Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, began to issue their own coins. The 3 Pfennigs coin was one of the first coins minted by Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, and it was made of silver, which was a valuable and sought-after metal at the time. Despite its small denomination, the coin was an important part of the local economy and played a significant role in the financial transactions of the time.
