Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Pfennigs - Christian William of Brandenburg (Kipper) 1621 coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the German States. The Kipper era, which lasted from 1618 to 1623, was a period of rapid inflation and currency devaluation, which led to the introduction of new coinage systems and financial reforms. The 3 Pfennigs coin, made of Billon, was one of the new coin denominations introduced during this time, and it played an important role in the everyday transactions of the people living in the Archbishopric of Magdeburg. Despite its relatively low value, the coin is now a rare and highly sought-after collector's item, offering a glimpse into the complex economic history of the time.
