Interesting fact

The 3 Pfennigs coin from Brunswick-Lüneburg-Celle (German States) was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thirty Years War, which lasted from 1618 to 1648, had a significant impact on the coinage of many German states, including Brunswick-Lüneburg-Celle. Despite the challenges posed by the war, the minting of coins continued, and the 3 Pfennigs coin remains a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the people of that time.
