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 ended in 1648, and many German states were struggling to rebuild their economies and maintain political stability. Despite these challenges, the production of coins like the 3 Pfennigs coin continued, serving as a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the people of the time.
