Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 3 Pfennigs - Charles August 1799-1807 from Duchy of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach (Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach, German States) made of Copper weighing 6.0 g is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Charles August, who was the Duke of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach from 1799 to 1807. During this period, the Holy Roman Empire was dissolved, and many German states, including Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach, were forced to reorganize their currencies and economic systems. Despite these challenges, the 3 Pfennigs coin remained a widely used and important denomination in the region, and its design and mintage reflect the economic and political changes that were taking place at the time.
