Interesting fact
The 3 Pfennigs coin featuring Christian William of Brandenburg from the Archbishopric of Magdeburg (German States) was made of silver, which was a common material used for coinage during that time period. However, what makes this coin particularly interesting is that it was issued during a time of great economic and political turmoil in the region. The Thirty Years War had just begun, and the Archbishopric of Magdeburg was one of the many territories that were affected by the conflict. Despite the challenges, the coinage continued to be produced, and this particular coin is a testament to the resilience and determination of the people during that time.
